Did this on July 4 2020. My first 4K+ mountain ever. If I had known how challenging it was I never would have gone. So glad I did and have been hiking ever since.

What a hiking snob!

Its always important to check the mount washington observatory for the conditions at the summit even for you chute little summer hikers. In the winter its mandatory...

Nice video. Drone shutting is amazing .

Very gorgeous hike! It looks so different from Colorado. Love the drone music and shots. We can see things from a new perspective. Thanks so much posting. We love your videos.

haha dude this is awesome. I moved to CO from NH. Great to see you hanging out in my former stomping grounds!

Super cool you made it out east. The white mountains have their spots. It's where I do 99% of my adventures. The smaller mountains offer a lot of seclusion and some really nice views, just gotta know where to go

Best hike ever. I did it a week right after you guys. What's funny is that boulder field is not part of the trail; there is at trail that circumnavigates that entire section, but it's really hard to find because of overgrowth.

Thanks for taking me back to Huntington Ravine...I did it alone in May 1995, I saw people with technical climbing gear---"Should I even be here?"...it was quite an adventure. There was a big ass rock the size of a small house...I remember saying..."How am I gonna get over that?"....scrambling over to the right of the last steep part of the rock field...over the top...Wow...I made it...Now I can take a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey...It started drizzling on the Alpine Garden...a couple of guys I met said they were going DOWN Huntington Ravine...I told them "Don't do it"...I guess they made it.

I’m so glad that you posted this because I really want to try this trail I’m a little nervous because of what everybody says but you seem to make it look really easy I wonder if I can do this

Wow that's a great video and an interesting hike. Thank you!

Try it in the winter, lot less people but more restrictions. Have done this same hike several times in the winter. My Washington did hold for the most snow in the 48 states till Rainer won that title

Headwall in Huntington ravine trail is one way at the headwall once started thereis no turning around to go back down keep that in mind check description in guide book AMC happy trails

Great hike thanks

Good stuff

totally agree on the crowds, whole reason I hike is to get away from all that

Hi Virtual Sherpa (again)...the Huntington Ravine Trail --it's been 30 years----was one of 7 different trails I did in one year to the top of Mt Washington....I got to "know" the Mountain...the Huntington Ravine was the toughest no doubt. I remember a small Emergency Box at the base of Huntington Ravine, dedicated to a lost Rescuer---is it still there?...and Wise choice to not take the Dog up thru the Rock Field ...he probably would've made it , but why take chances....

Interesting - what appears to be the same heather shrub growing amid rocks is prevalent in some areas of the west. The Santa Barbara / Truchas NM region above 11,000' on the approach to Jicarilla Peak. Smaller very gnarly boulders covered with vegetation, make getting off trail not cool.

Nice hiking vlog

nice job

Did you seriously think your dog was going to be able to make it up Huntington ravine?

elevation gain is 4265

it is illegal to launch a drone in a wilderness area

I am a "large man" living in the NH White Mountains with no recent hiking experience, and Washington is my eventual goal. I just turned 45, I want to complete an ascent by age 50. Realistic goal, or should I adjust it and take the Cog?

Have you ever considered trying the Grand Teton?

U made it out East👍

how athletic do you need to be to do this trail?? a can go to a lot of rocks downhill and uphills but I'm not really sure I'm athletic lol

What time did you start the hike? The one time I Sumitted Washington (via tucks on my way to bag the northern presis along the traverse) was on a sunday but I started at 5am. I was at the summit all alone outside of the personnel that works there lol. Wouldn't even bother going up Washington any later honestly unless its late afternoon and 99% of the people are off the mountain and the auto road is closed by then.

In your opinion, which 14'er trail section would compare most closely to the most difficult section on Huntington's, in terms of both scrambling and exposure?

I haven’t hiked a mountain before...I want to hike Mount Mansfield and then Mount Washington! Is the class 3 hiking doable for someone with little experience? That portion with the slabs looked almost vertical!

Congrats, you've done a 6er ! JK :)

How was that 4800ft at 6000ft compared to 4800ft at 14k ft?

The reason I haven't done Longs. First sentence in the 14ers route description: Get ready to make some new friends! Nope. Also; drone footage. Music. Are you in direct competition with Mediocre Amateurs?

Reason why Pikes Peak is my least favorite 14er summit : it's basically a construction site.

As an avid hiker/sometimes climber living in New Hampshire, it makes me so sad that this is the "most difficult" hiking trail in New England. It was a great hike but nothing very exciting.

Excellent choice not to have the dog continue. Lovely of Jackie to take the dog back down. I always want to bring my dog on hikes but sometimes the best decision is to leave her home.

Thanks for the perspective. I can’t imagine how annoying it must be for someone to be hiking and hear some negative Nancy narrating what a disaster the hike is to a selfie stick the whole way.

If you check with the Rangers and did any research on this trail you would see it specifically says not to bring dogs on it which means you don't know what you're doing. Anyone watching this video please don't attempt this hike with a dog. I'll go one further and say don't attempt it in any type of wet weather because you will probably slip and fall and die. Also do not bring a heavy pack because again you will have a lot of trouble. This is the most dangerous hike in New Hampshire because of the weather. People from out of state don't seem to understand that difficulty also entails reading weather patterns. It's the reason people come to Mount Washington to prep for Mount Everest. If you're out of state and you're unfamiliar with the area please don't post anything purporting to be advice for anybody.
