"Started early from the AMC Highland Lodge, then climbed up to Mizpah Hut, summited Pierce, Eisenhower, Franklin, Little Monroe and Monroe. Then dropped the pack and Turkey and I ran the ridge 5 more miles out to Boot Spur and took a peak down in Tuckerman’s Ravine." — wiweasel • Jul 4, 2024

"Great hiking on a fantastic weather day. Enjoyed bright blue skies, very light winds and relative cool, dry temps. Picture perfect. First time on the section of Webster Cliffs from Mizpah hut to Jackson. Although a little wet and muddy, its nice through there with the bogs." — Alohabuffy • Aug 23, 2023

"We were hoping for a weather miracle that never came. Snowed all the way up, met with a powerful wind on the summit. About a hundred feet of visibility. Came down to Mizpah hut. A little clearing as we descended, not much." — Alohabuffy • Feb 14, 2023

"Pierce (27) & Eisenhower (28). Solo. To close out my annual trip I decided to do another two-fer, one that a friend of mine has been recommending since I started coming to the state to hike. I decided to start at the Crawford Connector Trailhead and do it as an out and back to avoid road walking. I got to the lot around 07:15, paid my $5 to the green box, with only about 10 cars in the lot and another solo guy gearing up. It was promising to be another really clear and pretty day. Car said it was 39° but I just went with long sleeves and left my fleece in my pack. My legs felt creaky and unwilling, particularly my left quad- I must’ve been favoring that leg without realizing it. Very tense. Knowing I’m faster (but more reckless) without my poles, I stowed them on my pack and got to it. This trail was just what I needed after a long week of hiking. Dirt and rocks and semi-stream bed hiking with gradual pushes followed by small flat areas to catch your breath before the next one. Every time I told myself I would take a break after the next push, I managed to reset a bit on the next flat area and keep moving. I made good time and was on the flat to the Mizpah Hut that I wa..." — kellieirene • Oct 8, 2021

"Single-day Presidential Traverse to finish off 3 days of peakbagging and Appalachian Trail redlining in White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire. The Traverse, spanning Pinkham Notch to Crawford Notch, covered 25 miles and 8,300 feet of elevation gain in 14 hours moving. " — wacbravo • Sep 9, 2019

"Summit completely socked in with fog. Had lunch and waited, fed the gray jays and waited. Still all fog, left for Mizpah, got to the So. Pierce knoll and saw Mt Wash clear as day. Turned around and went back to summit. Really neat under cast all around Eisenhower. Not much wind at all, not much sun either, temps 25ish." — Alohabuffy • Dec 2, 2017

"Headed up Eisenhower, winds 70mph and gusts very cold. People coming out of the alpine with frost on their beards. Went over to Pierce as the sky cleared and the winds died down. Went to Jackson and back down to the car we spotted. Long hike but loved it." — Joleneahikez • Aug 6, 2017

"Fairly easy moderate steady climb. Somewhat packed with 1 to 3 feet of snow as you go up. Bright blue skies. Great views north to Eisenhower, Monroe, Washington and beyond. Stalked by professional gray jays. Also excellent views descending Webster Cliff trail to Mizpah Spring Hut" — Alohabuffy • Dec 20, 2014
