Into the Whites
- Today I traveled 20.6 miles with 7884 feet of ascent and 6631 feet of descent.
- I started off the day heading out from the five corners inn, where I got a breakfast burrito from the gas station before heading to trail. Big breakfasts let to big days!
- My goal for the day was to make it over the Carter mountains and the wildcats and end up near Pinkham Notch Visitors center. That’s allow me to hit the highly recommended breakfast buffet at the visitors center, and have a short at summitting Mount Washington tomorrow if the conditions were good.
- I haven’t had a 20 miler in a bit and I’ve never had a day with nearly 8000 feet of elevation gain. But weather was great and I was stoked to test myself against the start of the whites. I know that I’ll probably have some bad weather days coming up so I wasn’t too that full advantage of these nice days if I’m feeling good.
Peace!
