</div> <!-- header div -->
<div id="main">
<p><b>Unless mentioned explicitly, information on this site applies
to the normal hiking season, which extends roughly from Memorial
Day to Columbus Day. Conditions in winter, and in the potentially
equally dangerous late fall and early spring, are very different
and require a completely different approach.</b> Mid spring (mid
April to Memorial Day approximately) is
<a href="http://www.greenmountainclub.org/page.php?id=60">Mud
Season</a>, when there is a mixture of mud at lower elevations and
melting snow at higher elevations, it leads to unpleasant hiking
and to damaging erosion of trails.</p>
<h2>The Routes</h2>
<p>Each page below has a link to an online map, notes on any huts
or backcountry camping facilities in the area, plus suggested
routes to each of the 4,000 footers in the area. If you are
familiar with the area you may find the routes faster by using the
links provided on the <a href="nh-4000-footers.html">list of 4000
footer peaks</a>.</p>

<li>You may want to look at the FAQ on

specifically at the answer to the question:
<a href="faq1.html#difficulty1">How difficult is this
trip?</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Notes on the Routes</h2>
<p>I describe the various routes that are <i>commonly</i> used to
bag the peaks, omitting those that are substantially longer or more
difficult than the standard routes, or that are simply less often
used. The fact that a trail is not mentioned here does not imply
that it is unsuitable.</p>
<p>All trails are described in the <i>White Mountain Guide</i>, and
the decision of which one suits you best is, of course, yours to
make. Should you have any questions, direct them to one of the
<a href="general2.html#Communities">bulletin boards</a> described
under General Information.</p>
<p>Almost all the NH peaks can be reached in a comfortable day, and
backpacking is rarely required. The routes to the Bonds, Owlshead
and Isolation are long enough that some may want to do them as
overnights, so I have described potential campsites. The higher
peaks in the Presidential range are not far from the trailheads,
but the elevation gain makes up for that, here I have described
both camping and hut based alternatives.</p>
<p>These notes are written on the assumption that you have a
guidebook and a set of maps, so no directions are given to
trailheads, and the trails are not described.</p>
<p>Distances, elevation gains and
<a href="faq1.html#booktime1">book time</a> are given for all
routes. The abbreviations "ow", "rt" and "lp" are used for "one
way", "round trip" and "loop" respectively. The term "loop" is
applied to any trip in which different trails are used for the
ascent and descent, whether or not the start and end points are the
same. I have been careful to note when the start and end points are
different and to say whether or not it is possible to walk between
them (as must be done with only one car).</p>
