Thanks for posting this. The reason why some do not recognize Jackson as part of the Presidential traverse is because the mountain is not named after Andrew Jackson. It was named after a NH Geographer with the last name of Jackson

While Andrew Jackson was a president, the peak in the White Mtns that is part of this range was named for Charles Jackson a geologist. If you are doing the Pressi's than you can end at Pierce, though many do include Jackson.

You hit the jackpot on this hike. No clouds and no wind!!! Yes, Mt. Washington is a tourist trap but I LOVE it. I have lost track of how many times I have hiked it. Rocks and roots, the epitome of the White Mountains.

One of the best PT videos I have ever seen. Excellent work dude! It makes me want to plan a trip back soon. When I hiked it Sept 2020 while hiking the AT. It was pelting rain with 50 MPH gusts so I got no views and was praying I did not get hypothermia. You had a great day with no wind which makes for good audio and is extremely rare. Thank you! 😁

Nice to see you up here again! It's a total stunner of a hike. I did it over two days a couple years ago taking the Howker Ridge trail up to Madison to avoid some crowds (and get better parking) and continuing past Jackson out to Webster and down the Webster Cliffs trail (would not recommend this descent option). You brought back the horrors of that wet stretch from Pierce to Jackson, haha. If you want another excellent traverse with slightly fewer crowds, the east half of the Pemi loop (i.e., starting from Lincoln Woods, tagging the Bonds and South Twin and then hiking out off North Twin) is definitely worth your time.

@@GetUpTheMountains awesome! I spent five days in franconia notch area and loved every minute! Beautiful place. Those are some steep trails. I did a loop that went up falling water trail and came back down the old bridle path with my cousin. After he left I went over to where the AT crossed the highway near by and hiked along that for a few days until I got to Galehead hut. Then I followed a trail back down the mountain side to the bottom of the valley and made my way to the Lincoln Woods visitor center where I missed my shuttle and had to hike ten miles back to my car. Lol. I cant wait to visit again!

It looks like you used a drone quite a bit. I'm planning a hike of the traverse and was going to take my drone but just to use down below. I just assumed it would be too windy for the drone on the mountains. Did you have any issues with it? I"m pretty cautious with my drone as it's expensive and I let the insurance lapse. You got great shots! Now I"m reconsidering... though the thing is kind of heavy so there's that.

When is the best time to hike this as far as calm/bearable conditions? Is there a campsite along the way if you need to stay? Is this hike dangerous to do solo? I would like to try this in a 2 day span or 3 days.

Peep this for camping info: www.thevirtualsherpa.com/presidential-traverse-new-hampshire-hike-guide/ - best time for calm would likely be later summer or early fall. Anything is dangerous solo but tbh, there are usually a ton of people hiking this

Drones are not allowed in the Presidential Range and for good reason. You clearly used a drone and therefore don't respect the rules or the experience others have on the trail.

Appreciate the comment but believe it or not the rules have changed over the years and at the time, drones were legal to use.
