Hiking up to Galehead
Airs: Thursday 4/3 at 7:30 p.m.
The White Mountain’s Gale River trail leads Windows to the Wild host Willem Lange to the Appalachian Mountain Club’s famous Galehead Hut. Once his gear is stowed away in the hut, Willem hikes a short distance up the Frost Trail to the summit of Galehead for a breath-taking view of the Pemigewasset wilderness area.

... for a breath-taking view of the Pemigewasset wilderness area.

Huh? Unless the "view enhancers" have been at it, when I was there in the summer a couple years back the view from the Galehead summit was basically lots of fir trees. Or is my memory going bad already?

stowed inside the hut

Therefore we can rule out using the snowpack as a viewing platform on the summit...

As of May 2005, there was a view back toward the hut and South Twin from a little below the summit; the summit itself looked like this

Probably written by a copy editor who's never been there. There are some nice views from the surrounding area, including the hut, but no expansive view of the Pemi -- mostly just the Twins.

There is an outlook below the summit that has nice views of the Pemi.

All I can see in this picture is wilderness... The description seems good to me...

Joking aside, NHPTV does a great job with this series, I'm usually drawn in to the great scenes that they capture on tape!

BUMP. This is tonight.

Looking at the website, it seems that these programs are not web-streamed. Is that correct? Therefore, can't get them around NYC.
