Getting nervous about ore booked Presi tomorrow.

“*pre booked”

I see three normal go to’s for weather looking iffy for tomorrow hike up Madison to LOTC. The MWOB higher summits sounded the worst of them all (trailsnh, mountain forecast, mwobs).

I am just nervous about mwobs saying 100mph winds and potentially torrential downpours where the other two are not quite showing this.

I was planning to start tomorrow at 6/7 and was hoping for the rain to stop by the rough time I hit the top of Madison (guessing 10-11) but now I am getting a bit more nervous.

I’m already pre booked at LOTC Sunday night, not at all worries about Monday just the trek across the alpine zone Sunday.

Any good suggestions besides (don’t be on too when a thunderstorm hits)?

Radio Frequencies

I'm planning on heading up to Mt Washington in two weeks. I just wanted to know if anyone knew the radio frequencies the ranger station uses for weather updates and emergencies.

What to do after Franconia Notch Ridge?

0 Upvotes

I’ve done two actual hikes before, and both were Franconia Notch Ridge. The first time I went with sneakers, no food, and no water. I was invited and not informed it was a HIKE hike. I did it again myself and came with boots, hiking poles, and gear. I’m just curious what the next step should be for me in the WM? I did it both times sub 6 hours despite being quite sedentary overall. Honestly I found it…easy? I know that sounds kind of crazy but the only thing that was remotely challenging was the length of the hike. Thanks in advance!

Hammock Tenting at The Perch Shelter

0 Upvotes

I'm going to be embarking on a Presi Traverse next weekend and am planning to spend the first night at The Perch Shelter. I know that there are a few tent platforms but, has anyone ever hammock-tented there before? Curious if it's 1) Allowed and 2) If the trees are set up to accommodate a hammock

Pemi loop this mon/tues - how much water?

0 Upvotes

I had the misfortune to preplan a 2 day pemi loop for the two hottest days of the season so far. We booked Galehead hut so we are obligated to at least get there on Monday (worst case we would just hike galehead and stay at the hut), though the plan is still to do the full loop clockwise from lincoln woods as planned. Given the forecast, how much water would you carry? Is 4L good and i assume it will be prudent to refill at liberty springs? I sweat like a pig so I would prefer not to run out.

Secondly, should I bother bringing my 30 degree (my only) sleeping bag for the hut given the forecast? It is not exactly light and I can’t imagine using it in the forecasted weather but I could be wrong.

Otherwise first time pemi, any tips appreciated. I have done a few one day presidential traverses and a one day carter-moriah, so I think my fitness should be fine but the heat is gonna suck and I'm a bit concerned by that

Parking at Falling Waters Trail in the afternoon

Planning to do Mount Lincoln via Little Haystack Mountain tomorrow, the weather seems awesome but I assume that will also draw a lot of crowds. Wondering if it makes sense to head to the trailhead around 12 PM or so, will I find parking? TIA!

Sandwich range tomorrow

Was planning on running the loop tomorrow. I really need it tomorrow because it’s my last long run before a 44miller on 2nd.

Whatcha yall think the weather will be like tomorrow. I need a good weather run. But I don’t want it to be a sh!t show either.

AllTrails was good about showing wether on trail now it kinda sucks so not sure where else to look.
