I started my day at 3:30am and was on the trail by 6:40am. I was back at the parking lot at 4:40pm , 10 LONG hours of hiking in the beautiful white mountains. Started up north twin and then over to South. I skipped Galehead as the effort did not equal the reward, I’ll get it another time. I made my way over to Mt. Guyot which is not an official NH48 but probably will be after the next AMC Guidebook comes out. Long walk over to Zealand and to the amazing views from Zeacliff lookout. Mt Washington was glorious from afar and exposed in clear blue skies. Down to Zealand hut for coffee and Lemon poopy seed cake. An exhausting hike over to Hale capped the summits for the day. The last trail I took was fire wardens trail and it is abandoned and overgrown. It was the only way to complete this as a loop hike so I opted to take the risk, and it payed off. At the end of the day 10 hours, 19+ miles, and five 4000 footers.
