For a couple of summers in the 1980s I was in an environmental sciences program that culminated in a 3 day trip to Mt Washington and a stay at Lakes In The Clouds. It hasn't changed at all in 40 years. Amazing! Thanks for this video.

Wow! That was a great video and congratulations on making that major hike! I was relieved to see that warm, dry stop at the hut with food and shelter and all those other happy hikers! Very interesting... (now I won't have to do all that hiking to see what it's like! : P )

Great looking trip I can certainly relate to how you referred to those features like the waterfalls when your knackered.

Great video. It was nice meeting you at Lakes of the Clouds and getting to chat with you. We were the group of 4 guys that wished you a good day on the beginning of the final climb to Mt Washington.

Neat! A classmate and I did this after we finished doing a couple of sections of The Long Trail. '87? I guess. His knees were giving him trouble so we took the Cog down. I took a chance and drank some water from the falls on the climb up. Fortunately I didn't get sick.

Fun hike, storms come in quick.🌨️☁️🌠

Once past the Gem Pool the climb up those granite rocks becomes (seemingly) nearly vertical; you toughed it out! Another fine video that brought back valued memories. Thanks

My favorite video going up to and showing Lake of the Clouds hut by far. I spent the summer of '75 there when I was 15 along with a few other huts doing some trail maintenance for a short time. Loved playing my blues harp, watching the sunrise on Mt. Monroe. ❤

Another great video! You do such a good job conveying the experience of the places you hike and camp. You're also very good at including the viewers. It felt like I was hiking alongside you. Congrats on tagging the highest peak! I only get to visit the Whites once a year (and that's still over a month away) so thank you for letting us vicariously visit the mountains with you!

I LOVED 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Thank you again for sharing all your backpacking trips. Your videos are great! I look forward to the spring to venture out again, you're an inspiration.

I love all these hikes and different campgrounds you go to…I want to do and go to them all!

this has inspired me to make the same trip... Thank you!!!

You have more energy than I do, plus a few decades younger. I have not hiked up and down lately. I use the train. I hike up Ammonosuc Ravine to the hut, stay over, then hike up to the summit then take the train down. I'm lucky to be able to do that. I hope you can to when you're an old lady. I thought you would choose the Jewell trail for the decent. That is very pretty (no waterfalls) and dryer then Ammo. You end up across the road directly from the hikers parking lot. The last few yards you cross a very nice bridge, photo op, then a short hill to the parking lot. The Jewel was the first trail I took up there. Amazing views. I tried going from Mizpah hut to Clouds hut (2017) but on top of Mt. Pierce the wind and rain nearly blew us over. People coming the other way advised us not to do it. So, we bailed out, going down Crawford Path to Rt. 302 drying off at Crawford Station. The whites have to flex its muscles to tell us who's boss!! (oct. 2022)

Great video! I’ve been up top many times but never from that side except as a child with my family on the cog. I once had the great good fortune to be on top during one of the warmest and clearest and calmest days ever. It got to 69F with 100% visibility. I’ve also experienced some absolutely miserable conditions up there.

Great video Rachael....I so enjoyed watching your adventures....especially up to Lakes in the Clouds. My small family and I made that hike many years ago when our kids were 2 and 6 (my husband was 63 and such a trouper!) Our 2 yr old was in the backpack most of the trip! I remember the great difficulty in climbing this trail and the exhilaration once we arrived. We ended hiking back down that same day. It was the most challenging hike our small family ever did. Thanks for providing that wonderful memory almost 30 years ago. Don't know if I could manage that hike these days....too many slippery rocks to navigate. Happy travels from a fellow New Hampshirite.

Be safe up there! Mt. Washington is the windiest place in the world and the weather can change from sunny to stormy very quickly!

Thanks for this video. Im considering doing the same thing. What a challenge!

Very cool thanks for sharing Rachel! Im going this Monday morning solo on the 13th up the ammo trail. Wish me luck! Best wishes!

Love all the vids and information you supply, very helpful. Gods speed!!

Wow that was insane!!! Im going to Mt Washington to take the cog railway soon

Very good video keep up the good work

What a great informative video! I just hiked for the first time at Franconia state park in New Hampshire, got to little haystack and had to turn back. Really falling in love with hiking. Hope to do mount Washington someday.

hello! I was wondering when you filmed this to get an idea of the conditions during the time of year

Rachael, so glad I found your video. did you do this in July? I am doing the traverse, hut to hut early July. Not sure what to bring as far as clothings are concerned. Amy tips?

Nice job with the camera. I would have put it away on those steep parts. Looked like half capacity from the dining shots.

i was conceived here in 1966

How was the wifi?
