Solo Hike & Camp In The Dry River Wilderness - Crawford Path Mt Clinton Trail Dry River Cutoff
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2023
- Continuing on my goal of hiking all the trails in the White Mountain National Forest I went out to finish off the the Crawford Path, Mt Clinton Trail, Dry River Trail Cutoff, Crawford Cliff, and the Mizpah Cutoff. I made a fun little loop though it was essentially viewless, it was some good solid wilderness woods walking. Kind of iffy weather on day 1 but the iffy weather kind of set the wilderness vibe so it all worked out.
Trip was about 13 miles total with the road walk and about 4400ft of elevation / descent.

Filming water crossing when hiking solo is some serious dedication to the process. Wow!
Thank you for the post! These help a lot. I appreciate the way you put them together.
Good luck with your redlining in the white mountains. I’m still plugging away at the 52WAV.
Silk blazing! 😃👍🏼
Really loving your redlining adventures lately. Those less-used trails can be a slog for sure, but there's nothing like taking the trail less traveled and getting to see wilderness scenery that most folks miss. Thanks for getting your feet wet for us! 😁
I am hoping to do a big loop including the isolation trail and eisenhower trail before winter this year. I really like the wilderness areas. Even without the epic views I still dig it. Also, I dont think my feet have dried since the beginning of the summer haha
Thanks Chris!! ⛺️
Any time!
Just did the kinsman pond loop these same two days, crazy weather pockets and that trail is no joke after the Lonesome Hut !
Beautiful remote area, but you can still get a Heavenly Donut! And thanks for the spider PSA, I will be sure to let my daughter know before we go. Fearless young woman, except for her arachnihobia.
Great hike, but miss seeing some of your beautiful still shoots at the end. Keep on...
Great video, no worries about not having enough water out there!
I think I carried a 1/4 liter max on this entire trip haha
Ran into you camping along the Dry River. My dog tried stealing your donut. Always enjoy watching your videos and it was nice running into you on the trail.
Was a good donut. Can’t blame em haha. How was the Eisenhower trail?
Ha. Yes! Eisenhower starts steep but was better than expected. No spiders :)
Another great trip, thanks. If you don't like mud, this is not your year.
This whole trip felt like Vermont on the Appalachian Trail. I always joke that I slid down the mud from VT into NH haha
Great upload Chris, shots are simply brilliantly composed and never monotonous! 👏👏
Love your videos Chris ! I’m redlining too and I was just thinking of doing this area next ! Just finished all the bottom half of the RMC trails below Crescent mountain … you feel accomplished because the trails are so short and you just keep seeing new trail signs woohooo I went around in circles doing what I called it the day of nonsense in the rain ha ha ha still loved every minute of those lesser traveled trails though ! Congrats on more redlining miles ! You’re getting a lot done this summer 😊
I was looking at that whole set of trails at one point trying to figure out what the most logical way to do it would be and I still cant figure it out haha
@@ChrisGoesOutdoorsmost logical way for me would be to move there!
@@ChrisGoesOutdoors I’ve determined there is no figuring out that lower section … I just started at woods path after parking at the town hall and worked my way back towards the car going up ,down ,and all around like a nut 😂. Mossy Glen was nice along with the “ Nepal bridge “ area . Mount Crescent loop is a good winter one with nice views though
I love your vids Chris! Keep it up. Your videos have helped me perfect my backpacking setup tysm!
Great to hear!
Love the dry river trail, its never crowded up there
Agreed, vastly different experience once I got on the Mt Clinton Trail and Dry River area
Really enjoyed this Chris! That was some deep fording there! Wow!
I was gonna ask you if you bearbagged or was there a bearbox?
Thanks again man!
NQU
keep up the great content. im going to head out sept 9th for a little overnighter will be my first of the year and first since surgery so im taking it easy and make sure everything is all good to go for next spring, possibly some winter snowshoe or xc ski camps
Good luck out there, take it easy for sure!
Good luck! I had surgery last September and gradually got back up to things. One thing though, even if it's not your knees, if you have knee issues you should ease back in....
good one Chris
Thanks Tim!
“Dry River”. Ironic! 😅
you will love the eisenhower trail. like the tent?
So far so good. Held up well in the rain this night. Looking forward to Eisenhower trail
Dry River - quite the oxymoron
More like "wet river bed" :)
