Preserving Our White Mountains

Honoring The Space: The White Mountains

The White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) covers 800,000 acres in New Hampshire and Maine and provides year-round recreation for approximately 6 million visitors annually. With 1,200 miles of hiking trails, 400 miles of snowmobile trails, 23 campgrounds, 4 alpine ski areas and 6 ski touring areas there is plenty to do.

Due to it’s tiny size and lightweight it’s become a staple of the ultralight packing list. However, it does have some downsides.

So, what other options are out there? Continue reading
