Looking for a 4-5 day NH hike that's a good intro to the White Mountains — not Pemi Loop or Presidential Traverse
My husband and I are considering hiking all 48 NH 4,000-footers. We planned to start with the Pemi Loop, but we're postponing that until the Lincoln Woods Trailhead reopens. We're also saving the Presidential Traverse for whenever we are ready to take a break from tent camping.
Can anyone recommend a backpacking trip, multiple day hikes, or a combo of the two that fits these criteria:
1. **Different peaks** — something that doesn't overlap with the Pemi Loop or Presi Traverse.
2. **4-5 days** — that's how much time we have in New Hampshire.
3. **A solid intro to the White Mountains** — my husband winter-hiked Mt. Washington a few times about 10 years ago, but that's about the extent of our experience there.
A bit about us: we're semi-experienced backpackers (my husband more so than me). We recently completed the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island — our first backpacking trip in a while (we're usually just day hikers). That trail didn't have much elevation gain, so we're also hoping this trip gives us a realistic sense of what we're in for with the 48, especially since we're in our 50s and want to be informed as we take this on.
Thank you for any thoughts and suggestions!
