Presi "lite" saturday

[peakbagger]

I expect few are interested but I plan to do a Presi lite Saturday. This starts at Appalachia and ends at Crawford Notch but skips most if not all of the summits, thus cutting way down on those potentially interested. The routes are Valley way, Gulfside to West Side then Crawford path. Its still a long day but cuts out elevation gain while getting 95% of the views. I set a deliberate but not fast pace. I was planning on solo but if someone want to join me let me know. Its a 4:30 start time so definitely something you need to drive up on Friday night.

Pm if you are interested.

I did this a few years ago and called it a "Vice Presidential Range Traverse." The only summit I did was Mt. Washington. It was a fun day getting all the views without doing ALL the work! Have fun!

Many many years ago there was a trip posted in the Outdoors similar to this, also labelled "Vice Presidential Range Traverse". Leaders described it as a hike for recovering peak addicts

Saturday's the Mount Washington Road Race so skipping the summit crowds is a good idea!

For some reason, I always liked the naming of this type of traverse in this fashion. OK....for the historians out there...were there any Presidents named in the Presidential Range who were vice-presidents first?

History buffs would know that only Mt. Adams and Mt. Jefferson were VPs before President....

Does one have to continue all the way to Truman?
