Description: Get ready for a big, bold Presidential Range adventure. This full‑day traverse covers six iconic 4,000‑footers in one continuous push. A true challenge for strong, experienced hikers who love long miles, big climbs, and nonstop ridge‑top scenery. We’ll start high on the northern end and work our way across the spine of the range, tagging: • Mt. Jefferson — rugged, rocky, and a powerful start • Mt. Washington — the high point of the Northeast • Mt. Monroe — sweeping views over the Lakes of the Clouds • Mt. Franklin — quiet, scenic ridge walking • Mt. Eisenhower — wide‑open dome with 360° views • Mt. Pierce — a classic finish through alpine and forest terrain Expect exposed ridgelines, rocky footing , and steady elevation changes throughout the day. This is a demanding route, but one of the most rewarding days you can experience in the White Mountains. Distance: ~13.5 miles (depending on route) Elevation Gain: ~5,000–5,500 ft Pace: Moderate, steady, with regroup points What to Bring • Hiking boots with strong traction • 2–3+ liters of water + electrolytes • Plenty of food for a long day • Extra layers — wind and temps can change fast above treeline • Sun protection • Headlamp • Trekking poles (optional but helpful) Important Notes • This is an experienced‑hiker event due to distance, exposure, and weather variability. • Weather will be monitored closely; unsafe conditions may require route adjustments. • Group stays together, safety and good decision‑making come first.
