The Steepest Section of the AT & Easily Convinced to Stay at Another Hut | Appalachian Trail 2023

[@Cambiumchuck]

:29 "GRID" which means they hike all 48 - 4000 footers in every month. For 576 total summits. Which is about 3000 miles of trail and 1 million feet of elevation gain. Not to mention the winter weather in the Whites.

[@marilynm5024]

Wow! That was a steep climb. Don't worry about filming on those climbs. You need both hands to safely climb. Glad you stopped when you did. Amazing scenery

[@razzbazle1582]

I don't think she would have done it if it didn't feel safe.

[@colleen2503]

All the mothers are out here yelling, “Put the phone down and climb safely!”

[@lauraschneider5680]

Every time, every video!

[@TryingTheHardHikeATAdrieWashne]

Yes!

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Yes😂🙌 I get so nervous watching that😳😳

[@kerrypennings4294]

You don't need to explain yourself or feel bad about where you stay!! You are rocking this!! Well done. 🙂

[@wendygrw]

Good choice to stay at the hut for a meal and a bunk after that tough climb. Great that you are taking care of yourself!

[@deborahchadwick210]

Hoping there will be a tramily for you to hike near for the 100 mile wilderness . We do worry about you!!

[@frolege1]

Good move staying at the shelter .. you deserve it

[@jeffb.23]

I passed you going SOBO on this day on the Presicat loop to finish my 48! Such great weather those few days. I almost took a different route, but was so glad I didn’t after running into you and the rest of that tramily. I love chatting with the thru hikers.

[@bradwilliams7198]

That would be kind of a cool video to make, about how they keep the Huts supplied. I assume everything is packed in/out, which seems like quite a feat!

[@BrendaGreenfield]

Taylor, I love how your not pushing yourself and just enjoying the beauty and the hikers💕

[@tommarsh5878]

You amaze me. Stamina, determination, resourcefulness. So much of your life invested in this journey. I'm envious yet proud of you.

[@swishanie5294]

Holding your phone on that climb!!!!! WOW!!!!! Love watching your hike!

[@qsbroom]

Wow! That area is incredible I am loving it! Thanks for the vlog...the hike looks awfully tough!

[@richardkremer]

I have been following your through hike of the AT from day one. My only advise is, stay safe on those climbing hikes, and keep both hands on the task. Seen you just did Mt. Washington. My wife and i Drove to the top, and it was unbelievable. I only wish I would have done the AT when I was younger. Keep up the great shots, as you come near the end.

[@danielleshea8782]

Look forward to your videos daily. Thanks for bringing us along for the trek Taylor. Your such an inspiration for others wanting to get out there and do it!

[@sarahgonzales2104]

That looks awesome!!! Also, my sister and I went for a hike this weekend and the moment we both realized we follow you and watch you we had a total corny but awesome moment! 🤣🤣 We love you NahHampshaaaaa. 🖤😎

[@jeannenimmo5]

Good weather, great views and yes, the miles come slower up the Wildcat Ridge Trail. Carter Notch - one of my favorite places in the world. Be well, stay safe.

[@melonydodson8725]

Oh my gosh, that climb was insane! It looked like total rock climbing! I'm seriously terrified of the Whites 😅

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Taylor rocking the trail 👣🌻

[@GoJess21]

I think I am going to paint my hiking poles a bright color. I kept thinking you were going to drop yours into one of those crevices!

[@denisebrown2940]

Those tent platforms seem really nice. Looks beautiful all around there.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with lots of good beautiful views, and no moose 😮, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@paulalee9324]

This post helped me better how difficult this area is, you made it look easy, even though it is challenging! So glad you stopped and stayed with people you know, excellent self care. 7:26 7:26.

[@sulj3373]

So glad you put the phone away on those rocks and spent the night at the site. 😊

[@randywineke5416]

Great views and weather. Still Heading North. Nice to stay with other hikers you have been on the trail with. Saty Safe and HIKE ON!!!

[@jantefft2442]

I am so amazed at your being so totally committed in your endeavor, just a strong young woman and you are letting us tag along, Great!❤🌟🇺🇲🧨

[@DavidCota-t6z]

Need some rest, place to stay, etc. my wife and I live in Carrabassett Valley and can pick you up and friends at Rt 27 trail head. I’m an old AT and recent PCT thru hiker. Glad to help.

[@ElizBRUSA]

Hi Taylor! Thankfully you had good weather to hike up those rocks 🪨. Beautiful views of our state! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. You are an inspiration for many of us🩷 Have a great day! 🥾⛰️💕

[@RC_0669]

[@Barkdack1]

Cool that you are seeing chasing places and their hiking family. Some of the mountain shots you are getting should be in the national geographic they're so good.

[@judithcoe7551]

Good morning Taylor, it is good to see you smiling! The lake and weather looks beautiful!❤🎉😊 I'm glad you are spending the night and you had a hot dinner and hopefully breakfast too! Hot meals keep your moral up. You deserve to treat yourself Taylor. Im glad you have other hikers for encouragement also!❤🎉😊

[@notforlong2587]

[@lyndajefferson5929]

Frizzle is an amazing lady. I have watched her hike since day one. And now to see you all hike on to mount Katahadin 👍👍👍👍, glad that your staying their for the night so you want be by yourself 🙂🙂🙂

[@johnholliday1695]

Lasagna or night hike in the Whites...no contest! Glad you opted for the former. 😊

[@PaulsWanderings]

I am glad you stopped at Carter Notch. The hike up to Carter Dome is straight up, not quite as straight up as the Wildcats, at least it was for me when I did it years ago.

[@lorik7591]

It makes me happy that you are hiking near some of the same hikers. You seem happier to see them so much too. 😁 Enjoyed the video!

[@llw8089]

What a steep climb! The mom in me is glad you stayed at the hostel .

[@hdbinnc8583]

The scenery is incredible! Please be careful. We don’t need the views as much as we need you uninjured! 😊

[@debsmith7050]

You give us such awesome videos! Thanks for taking us along on your hike :) But if you are true to your word about enjoying your summer - and the fact that your videos are 2+ weeks behind - and that you hike such big miles - and it's the 4th holiday weekend - have you completed the trail? Are you basking in your Katahdin sussess? I know you can't tell us your destination and I will keep watching no matter.... but

[@nickeastridge316]

Thanks! Great coverage of the Presidentials.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Thank you! !

[@karaleemanning27]

[@carltonchen9564]

You make it look so easy! My son and I approached the Carter Notch Hut via the 19-Mile Brook Trail from Rt 16 and felt like a mountain goat but your route was much steeper.😢

[@RickINFJ]

This section is brutally steep, I'm happy you had dry weather. Good call, you decided to stay at the hut. 5:32

[@denisedoering2265]

Great decision to bunk for night. Enjoy. Get a good night rest. Love the views....I was stressed watching the rock climb😂😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉 Yelled out when you reached the top. Great video.

[@chrissaunders8284]

The one-hand climb? Yeah, I stopped breathing. I feel for your parents if they watched that. Thanks for the attempt to get an amazing shot, though. You seem to be enjoying yourself again, I truly hope you are. Thank you for sharing.

Watching your videos has upped my step count 3000 steps a day. Im not kidding.

[@Lovesracing19]

Have a good rest. Safe travels.

[@johnbarns548]

Cannot ever in your lifetime forget the steepness of the Wildcats and decent into Carter Notch Filming on that depth of granite highly not recommended but thank you and thankfully no issues. Getting into “the” most beautiful and personal favorite part of the AT. Slow down and enjoy the hike

[@M.M.D.]

I think for your mental health, it was a good decision to stay over night at the hut. I love the hut system. My brother worked for AMC many summers as a hut boy/hut master. I loved going up and staying. Thanks for taking me along on your journey and re-living all the great memories with this portion of your hike. I can't wait to get back up and camp this summer and fall.

[@sulj3373]

That sounds like such a fun job.

[@spectrum10]

It seems to me that having to carry the hiking poles as you were climbing made it more difficult. Can you collapse them and stick them in your pack before you do a steep climb?

[@bevgipson1959]

I had the exact same thought!

[@neoanderson726]

we had a moose here in southern nh but I guess someone called fish and game complaining about it , it was a young female hanging out in people's backyards. So fish and game chased into the woods shot it and then took it's head supposedly to check for " brain w orm" ... man sometimes humans are the worse

[@jk-cj2ly]

That's shocking to me. Especially since moose are on everything in NH-shirts, towels, pictures; they seem to be worshipped. If that's true, it's disgusting. People in Rockingham County are a little snooty, so maybe not surprising.

[@neoanderson726]

@@jk-cj2ly yeah when I moved here I was a bit confused as well like they say how NH treasures it's green spaces and wildlife but this state also allows fireworks . I have seen first hand how fireworks have frightened deer so bad they coming flying out of the woods running aimlessly from the sound of my neighbors fireworks ..in congruent say one thing but do the opposite . Same with changing zoning willy nilly to suit the NH government so that they get more tax money . ,,Like rezoning old farms so that developers can come in and put in a cul de sac of cheap mcmansions . Or like when I moved to my small town you had to have at least 5 acres and 300 foot frontage on a road to build but they changed that after a few of being here now there are mcmansions everywhere on tiny lots... O lost track I think last count was 20 new developments in my tiny town and that was just cul de sac developments not including individual house ... IT is about the tax money the greedy ^&%$#. They do not care about the animals that were displaced, about the green spaces or even about the people or how they baited and switched home owners " come to Nh buy this old house fix it up in this cute pastoral agricultural town and less then 10 years later they change the zoning and now it looks like I am living in a suburb of Massachusetts . Meh it is all about money

[@jk-cj2ly]

So we visit from NJ about 3x a year. I tell people to please not let it become like my state where they would build on a postage stamp if they could. Go to your zoning board meetings and he heard. Too much new construction everywhere. Keep NH beautiful.

[@neoanderson726]

@@jk-cj2ly too late for southern NH . funny farms disappearing and orchards disappearing because they say they need more homes for more people well who is going to feed all these people when there are no farms or orchards ? Do not even go to NH this year all we are getting are rains rain rain and more rain ,,, my land is like a sponge ,, oh and the bugs are off teh chart

[@williamrandall1415]

Once again thank you so much

[@hindsfeetonhighplaces]

Having done that section as a weekend trip, I think you made the right call. I hiked from the PN Visitor Center to a stealth site near Mt. Hieght and and it was BRUTAL. While you have your trail legs, the extra mileage just getting off the presidential range would make up for that. I'm sure you COULD have done it, but you likely would have regretted it.

Yes, you get dinner and breakfast and a bunk. It’s not a lot when you consider your in a beautiful spot in the Whites with breathtaking views. The “croo” has to carry all the supplies in and trash out over tough terrain, and the money goes to good use with the AMC.
