- I'm in the Whites!! During my 20th section hike, I tackle the White Mountains of New Hampshire, from Kinsman Notch to Pinkham Notch. During this episode, I begin at Kinsman Notch and trek to Liberty Springs Tentsite. This video includes days 1-2.
Thank you for showing close ups of all the edible plants.
You're welcome!
Great to see you back out doing another section! Awesome video.. I appreciate you sharing. Happy hiking and god bless you
Thanks so much!
Awesome...you are back on the trail. Thank you so much for good videos.
Glad you like them!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing all the wildlife along the way! Never heard of that carnivorous plant. Incredible! I so enjoy watching your videos. Looking forward to the next video!
So glad you liked it. Yes, I love pitcher plants!
Thanks for another lovely video!
My pleasure!
Great hike the AT is so beautiful thank you for taking me on the Application Trail ….
Nice work on the photography, Flower! You are right that some of that path being called a trail is rather generous. Many years ago, I knew a woman in her 70s who hiked the entire AT. Looking at some of that "trail" now makes it more impressive than I even thought at the time. Kudos to you on this stretch! Stay safe.
Thanks so much! Yes, there are a lot of retired folks and gray/white-haired folks out there hiking this trail...and they amaze me too! It's not an easy trail!
Another great vlog, so enjoy your inserts of the plant names.
Glad you enjoy!
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for posting!
So glad you enjoy!
Thanks for identifying the flora and fauna you record.
My pleasure!
Good to see you back on trail Flower. That opening drone shot made me
feel like I was in one of those wingsuits :) The first Huts were built before the A.T. They have a very storied history. Lonesome Lake Hut had the first all woman “Croo”. Madison Springs Hut dates back to 1888. Donkeys purchased from New Mexico were used to haul building materials to the Huts before helicopters came of age. I’m thinking of staying at Galehead Hut this September to hike Owls Head Mtn my 101th 4000 ft peak of the Northeast 115. My first Hut experience, I’ll let you know how it goes:).
Thanks so much for the hut info...that's awesome!! And good luck to you in your future adventures!
Great video, love hiking with flower
Thanks so much!
Nice to see you on the AT again, venturing into the Whites! I often drop a car off at or near my destination so I don't have to worry about someone picking me up and being all sweaty in their car. Although, I'm sure the shuttle drivers are used to it. 😉
I recall hiking the Kinsmans in "dry" conditions and it was still nasty. My least fav part of NH for sure!
I stayed at HWH a few times. Really nice helpful staff with affordable rates for room and shuttle! 😁
The Kinsmans were definitely tough! So steep I actually hit my head on a rock in the trail above me.
Yikes! Those hut fees are nuts. I love that you guys teach us ignorami about wildlife. Before your time but I used to watch a kids tv show that told us to put on out 'thinking caps'. Hike on, Flower!
Yes, they are pretty pricey. That sounds like a fun show!
Great vid, beautiful views!
Many thanks!
I had the best brownie of my life at Lonesome Lake hut last year. Chocolate, with a hint of mint and sea salt on top. Kick myself for not asking for the recipe. Great video!
That sounds tasty!
Lovely to see you back Flower. I’m so excited for New Hampshire. How was the water situation as I’m finishing up Massachusetts and everywhere is dry, until today. Enjoy and happy trails 🤘🏻🥾🏕
I think everywhere is drier than normal this year. The first part of NH was very dry, but the Whites were a bit better.
How many miles do you do an hour? I am only able to section hike so I am enjoying your videos.
Typically I'm around 2mph, but in the Whites, it was mostly 1mph. Have fun out there!
Did your husband do the hike with you? He do bicycle trips this year?
He didn't do this trip with me. He bikepacked the Huracan 300 this past spring down in Florida. Check out his journey on our channel :)

Living in New England we just call it hiking....The biggest kick I get watching non NE hikers are terms like rock scrambles....It is what it is to locals...the Mtns....our Mtns are granite ...our trails have no soil.
It's definitely gorgeous, but I doubt I'd have become a hiker if I thought that's what all trails were like, haha.
@@loamseeker5230 I know I am ready to hike and stay at my pace when I can run about 4 miles. The balds and the end of the hike are my favorite part. The way that trail goes over the tops of the highest parts and back down into hollers makes it one of the hardest trails in the world.
I had to drill a boar black bear right in the head with a rock that wouldn't leave us alone once. People had been feeding it. The feeling you get when you and the bear lock eyes when you're vulnerable to it freezes your soul. A ridge runner was at the sight, once his whistle didn't phase it he threw one. Never seen calf muscles like his, but he had the smallest arms. He said they call ridge runners t-rexes. I dreamed a couple times in the night the bear came back and was dragging me by the foot.
Usually I'm not very fond of the people I meet. Hiking is one of the only things that bring people who've spent their whole life in the city out walking in the woods, so you'll have things like bears associating people with easy food, night hiking and losing the trail. I found a timber rattler under a rock like you were walking over. My city mouse friend went to reach up under the rock trying to grab the rattling tail like Steve Irwin. The AT is good for learning to appreciate certain things, that's the only reason I still value hiking.
