MT Washington has a new coldest windchill ever recorded in America -108 deg!! FEB 3rd 2023
The highest wind speed measured at the top was 231 mph. Held the record for 62 years.
First time I hiked up with my dad, there was a hotel at the summit - terrific wind noise in the rooms. Dad had gotten a charley horse on the way up, and didn't want to hike back down, so we rode the train. Could buy a one way ticket at the summit - things were less regimented than they are now (and a lot less expensive, even counting for 60 years of inflation). Have since hiked Amonoosuc Ravine, Jewell, Huntington Ravine, Lions Head, Tuckerman's Ravine, and a December walk to the summit on the auto road.Dad loved the White Mountains, and passed that love on to me. Then I discovered the Alps and that complicated things.
Great video! I was there in 1986 when I was 8 years old. We walked up the Tuckerman Ravine trail to the Lakes of the Clouds Hut. We stayed there overnight and walked up to the summit the next morning and then down on the Lion's Head trail. Definitely an experience I will never forget.
I was there when I was 12 years old. We hiked for one day. Fun!
Excellent video. Very well done. Makes me miss this place so much! The Ammonoosuc Trail and the Huntington Ravine trail are my favorites - but all the trails are amazing.
Thanks you! Im proud of how this one came out, hopefully you can head back soon (:
You have a very unique and special way that comes across in your videos. This is an asset of yours that makes your videos stand out. You should do more of them. Your "How to hike Mt. Washington" was excellent! Please do more. Thank you.
Thankyou so much!! This made my day
Most of the deaths on Mt Washington occurred before the 1980s and almost all of them occurred from people going up there in the winter, but there’s actually a funny one about a kid who tried sleigh riding down the cog rail tracks. I dunno if it’s still there but there used to be a large plaque on the inside of the door to the caretaker’s cabin at the Hermit lake shelters located at the base of Tuckerman’s Ravine. The plaque lists all the people who have died up there with a brief description of how.
I used to get the itch to climb up W and if I couldn’t get anyone to go with me I’d go alone. I never planned it but by chance I seemed to arrive on special days. Namely the running race and the bicycle race. My favorite trails up are Huntington and Great Gulf.
I’ve hiked and snowboarded Tuckerman’s Ravine many times but this summer will be our first time summitting her. Can’t wait to finally experience the top of probably my favorite place in New England.
I love this! I just hiked up today annnd did not know what I was in for. Thank you for this, I'll be ready next time.
im sure it was a really memorable experience this time of year haha
Super good camera work! You have a good vibe dude keep it up!
loved it man soooooo good
I hiked up Tuckerman's Ravine last summer! We got a great view of the sunrise from the cliff face next to the waterfall, and the weather was crazy. As soon as you get above the waterfall it's like a different world (and one with 5 ft. visibility at that). The clouds were flowing over into the ravine and we were there during Covid as well so even though it was FREEZING when we got to the top you needed a reservation to go inside the museum/cafe area up there. We didn't have one but coincidentally a guy was closing the doors to the shelter and happened to recognize one of the people in my group. He was the husband of her old teacher and so he let us in and showed us behind the scenes in the scientists quarters where they all live year round along with their cat! Great experience, and i would recommend the hike to any experienced hikers who happen to be in the area!
We left at 4 AM as well, so it was pitch-black hiking for the first hour or two!
GREAT VID.. good job. I did the drive up back in 2008 but really want to go back and do a hike to the summit. It's on the bucket list.
Definitely a memorable experience! hope you get the opportunity to head back soon (:
love hiking here. did lions head for first time back in OCT and was a good hike. i will be doing another hike in a few weeks.
Thank you making this beautiful content 🫂💜🌏🙏🏼
Thank you for the video
Been there , Done that !!! Thanks lot for great video . It was the best Mountain.to me until I climbed Mt. Katahdin, and Half Dome, YOSEMITE. but still one of the best Mountain to me, Thanks lot for sharing your great video.
Thankyou!! you got to experience some of my favorite hikes in America that makes me so happy haha
Really well done!
Thankyou!!
As a fellow youtuber, gonna say not only was this super helpful for planning my trip-- it was a great video mixed with epic shots and important information. BRAVO
Thankyou so much!! hope you have an amazing adventure!
In the white mountains now. Have driven to the too many times in my childhood. Now I’m 28 and never hiked before. It’s very tempting!
As a RUclipsr myself I give credits for this awesome video carting the heavy camera! Wow ❤ Love it
Thankyou so much!!
Even tho it's longer, park off of Route 302 in Crawford Notch and take the Crawford Path Trail. You follow the top of the ridgeline all the way to Mt. Washington. It's a long hike, so you may want to make reservations at one of the Huts and come down the next day. This is one of my favorite hikes. Check the weather before you go.
love that! the huts are an amazing alternative and agree the ridge line trails are absolutely breathtaking!!
Great video. Planning to head up there with family soon, this helps me choose how to go up.
P.s (Coldest place in Yakuts up in siberia. RUclips has some cool videos of the people there)
Great job with the content friend. I'll be hiking this for the first time with a couple marine vets. We are in our 40s active and healthy. If you could let me know what to expect from a timing perspective, what's a round trip like yours usually take? Again, great job on the video! Be safe.
Thankyou for the kind words Sean! depending on how you hike it, could take anywhere from 6 hours to hike it/ enjoy it depends on how long you spend at the top! I usually make every hike last the whole day haha hope you have an amazing time - Mike
For the many times I have hiked up to the summit, I don't think I ever actually went to the actual summit spot as I am a full blown radio geek and would always gravitate to the 94.9 transmitter shack and hang out with Marty Engstrom! :>)
Great video and commentary. Planning on hiking up in late August on a Friday, either Tuckerman or Lion's Head. I'm 59 and in pretty good shape. Only going 1 way. Any suggestions re which trail? Thanks.
Hello thanks for the great content. I am going to try to hike this trail..were do you guys park to take the trail. Thanks an advance.
Wow never get caught up there in the winter it's like a mini Everest
Excellent video and camera work,
1. Thoughts on making this climb solo vs with others?
2. Approx what time of day did you start the climb?
I always hike solo but recommend hiking with others for safety! Started early early morning maybe 6/7/8 am ish
Great tutorial. Have you hiked Mount Lafayette and Franconia Ridge Trail loop? If so how would you compare it to hiking Mt. Washington in terms of intensity?
I have! I actually made a video on it haha, id say its pretty equal in terms of difficulty mt Washington hike is 400ft more feet of total elevation but a shorter hike overall (compared to lafayette loop) if i only had time to do one hike it would be lafayette loop every time hope that helps!
@@DreamingOfReality Thanks! I’ve done the Lafayette loop and absolutely loved it. I also found it to be relatively easy. I’m trying to save Washington for the last hike of my 48’s.
I have climbed 4 times and want to do it again. One of the deaths was a murder.
this was an awesome video! Did you see many people hiking with their dogs?
I’ve seen the fewest dogs on mt Washington compared to others in the area, like falling waters, Rippley falls, Frankenstein cliff exct. of the 6 times I’ve hiked mt Washington I’ve seen around 1-3 dogs on the trail each time! Hope that helps
I was hoping to this is in May this year after College graduation. A way say say goodbye to the Northeast US.
I have hiked this mountain with my dad and my brother and 2 of my step siblings and step mom. We hiked there during the summer and I remember how cold it was at high altitude with hazy fogs and a military dude lend me his jacket. My parents were stupid for not having all of us prepared. Thankfully, we stayed on the tourist trail path. I was 12 years old at that time. We rode the trolly back. The guy in the video took a different trail path.
Nicee!
Been up there three times years ago. Can't believe how crowded it is now. People ruin everything.
What higher alpine stuff like this around you has some mountain bike backcountry descents?
Mount Washington's a great hike summer or winter the only thing wrong with it is Boston, think about it. Glenn from Wyoming
What date did you hike this? I’m considering going at the end of April - should I expect lots of ice and snow?
There will likely be enough snow, ice and windchill to make it an experience you'll never forget haha snowfall in April is around 13 days and ave temp of below freezing ( for the month ), ive hiked it in late June wand there was still snow close to the top. My favorite time to hike it is September, Hope that helps - Mike
Isn't it part of the Appalachian (not Adirondack) trail?
Can I ski down from the summit in the summer ?
*Appalachian Trail
Adirondack Trail? Blazers?
Adirondack Trail?
you hiked the lions head winter trail
What would you recommend going up tuckermans if it open or lions
Personally I like going up tuckermans its a better view going up it than going down! - hope that helps
@@DreamingOfReality thanks plan on trying in a couple of weeks
@@joeykostigen3829 enjoy it! if you have time theres tons of other great hikes in the white mountains!
@@DreamingOfReality yeah I’m going to be hiking the Osceola’s soon
This would be a great video if it didn't have the vacuous syntho-rock muzak.
Hi im a beginner on this whole hiking thing im not that fit but I got the spirit and I think I can handle it but would like someone who has done this more than once to tell me! So my question is should I try this?
you are responsible for your own safety with that being said id encourage you (if you do chose to take on this or any hike to bring a hiking buddy) and not get summit fever, if it gets too hard you can always turn around at anytime and return the way you came! Id check with the ranger station a day before for weather conditions and ask them for a recommendation. I always encourage people to inch out of there comfort level responsibly if that makes sense! im not going to formally tell you what to do mainly to cover myself lol hope that helps!
Try hiking some of the smaller mountains in the area first. When your ready make sure to leave in the morning Incase your hike takes all day
@@stevena8649 hey thanks for the tip! Fortunely I made out from Washington already and it was def worth it!
@@stej7871 Wow, this is incredibly inspiring. I am also a beginner planning to hike this who is not the most fit but I definitely have spirit. Quick question: How long did it take you to hike it as someone new to the hiking thing? Any beginner tips?
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hi! It took me about 5 hours and a half counting breaks and everything, the only tip I can give you is bring enough food and water it will make the trip a lot easier! Also go at your own pace enjoying the views on your way up its pretty much all I can say thats helpful haha hopefully you have a good trip!
People rate this hike so many different ways, challenging, not so challenging. It all depends on your age and level of fitness. I am now in my 60's, but fit. I consider this very strenuous and probably too much of a challenge to reach the summit. I could do a 4000' in a day but not Mt. Washington.
You got no idea
this seems way less sketcy than driving up fuck that road bro lmao
lmao a vibe
Just Tuckerman. No "s"
why should they be on a child leash?
a regular dog leash works just as well and is considerably cheaper.
you make a compelling argument lol
cool video but the music is awful
No dogs…no need to go…if I can’t take my best friend.
Dogs are allowed to day hike, just not camp at that* campground. Although I wouldn't recommend this hike for a small or anything short of a extremely athletic dog! Its really rocky~
I thought this was like a super liberal area and attraction, why do they charge you an arm and a leg for everything
Liberals are usually rich as fuck, at least they are up here in New England.
Tuckerman reveal trail? It's the tuckerman ravine trail. You want to have some fun you do it in January like I do LOL it's not as much fun when it's warm.
i rode the cog railway all the way up to the mt Washington summit i didn't hike it.🏔
