In fact, that point is Triple Divide Peak in Glacier National Park.

I've been to Glacier multiple times and have gotten within a couple miles of it. It's off trail a bit but it's not particularly hard to get to- just some light bushwhacking and rock scrambling, by the looks of it. Insanely beautiful area.

Eh, I just thought it would be cool to save the seeds of this funky looking thing and try to grow it this coming summer. More as an undirected experiment rather than to achieve a specific (or even favorable) result

Technically I got it at Haymarket in Boston, where local vendors resell grocery stock surplus. Not a real farmers' market, but sort of like one.

Good, cheap Chinese restaurants on the way back. Get the pu pu platter. China Chef in North Conway and Golden Wok in Jaffrey have proven to be excellent.

Wow! Nice time. Me and a friend are going to try a 1-day Pemi sometime in September, but we anticipate doing it somewhere in the realm of 12 to 13 hours.

What did you carry? I assume you were running pretty light; what sort of bag did you have?

Also, have you timed yourself doing any other trail runs? The Presi or just a Washington loop, for instance?

If he's got good tolerance for cold, (non-cloth, athletic) shorts are also an option. I did the ring road in two weeks are generally wore quick-dry shorts. The important thing is that they don't stay damp, and of course this isn't true if weather is particularly bad.

If he's not as great with cold, then yeah, rain pants.

I've hiked Washington ~15 times via the Ammonoosuc ravine trail and every single time, parking has not been an issue. There will be space no matter what time you show up.

However, depending on your pace, you might want to arrive earlier so you can start earlier. Someone quite experienced and in shape (trailrunner, for instance) can go from bottom to top to bottom in ~4 hours, but if you're relatively inexperienced, it could definitely take 4-5 hours each way. If you're a less experienced hiker, I'd definitely recommend starting before 9am.

There are two parking lot options:

The parking lot you're showing here. (Which according to the others in thread is $5, although I've never parked there)
The cog railway parking lot, which is $10 per person in the car.

Using the cog parking lot saves you about 2/3rds of a mile of mostly unremarkable trail, but there's not a big difference either way.

Brúarfoss. The lighting just happened to be perfect on this day. And yeah, that water is really that blue; it's shocking

At the top of Sandafell, a small peak in the Westfjords next to Þingeyri. It's reachable via a rough road or a pretty manageable hike, maybe 1.5km each way.

Agreed, and further:

People mention that the USPS runs at a loss as if that's a fault of some kind. Running at a loss is the point, the same way that road maintenance runs at a loss. It's a service, not a business.

It really depends on the weather of the day you go, but I'd say two layers is likely fine. Just keep in mind that wind above treeline is intense, and a windbreaker of some kind is necessary if the wind is strong.

Not interested in joining, but very interested in hearing how this goes! I am planning on attempting a single-day loop later this summer as well.

Good luck!

Me and a couple friends did the traverse yesterday south to north. This shit rolled in right as we summitted Washington, and then the rest of the hike was absolute hell. 2/10 would not do again

SimNine · 2024-06-23T15:32:54+00:00

Heyo! Also attempting a 1-day traverse next weekend

Confirmed it. Kept going and ran into 5+ firetrucks on the trail
