My husband and I are planning a week long trip in June to hike the White Mountains. What are the best day hikes and ';must sees';? We consider ourselves pretty moderate hikers with hiking Glacier National Park in northern Montana most recently. Our Siberian Husky will also be joining us on our hikes!
Also, is there any chances of spotting a moose in the woods instead of on the road? If so, where are the best spots to find them?
Best Day Hikes?
Well, you have to start with MW. I am not going to repeat all the warnings here about hiking except you should be in good shape, bring lots of water, leave early, dress appropriately (usually a 30 degree difference from bottom to top) and only do it if it is a nice day. You can hike up Tuckerman%26#39;s which is the most popular route without fear of losing the trail.
Other hikes, Mt Chocorua, Crawford Notch, Arathusa Falls, and any of the Presidentials. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Chocorua
Any of the AMC trail guides will be a great source of information as well as a google search.
Sorry can%26#39;t help you with the moose.
Best Day Hikes?
As for moose, well maybe you might see some. They are not easy to spot especially if they%26#39;re just standing still. They blend in with the tree trunks pretty well.
The Franconia Ridge Loop is a classic, full day 8-9 mile hike. A good portion is spent above tree line, and includes Mt Lafayette and an AMC hut.
Can go up Old Bridle Path and down Falling Waters Trail or vice versa.
Be safe and enjoy!
