Thinking About Trying the Presidential Traverse – Gear Advice Needed?
Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to hiking longer trails and I’ve been reading a ton about the Presidential Traverse in New Hampshire. It sounds incredible but also kind of intimidating! I wanted to ask what kind of gear do you think is essential for someone maybe doing this for the first time? Especially stuff like footwear, layers, and any tips specific to the exposure up there-weather sounds like it changes fast. I’m planning for late summer/early fall.
Also, how much food and water do you usually carry for the full traverse, and are there good places to refill? Appreciate any advice or gear recommendations!
