Beginner Friendly 4,000 Footers in the White Mountains, New Hampshire | Mt. Tecumseh & Mt. Pierce
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2024
- This video features two of the "easier" 4,000 footer hikes in New Hampshire. I made this video to help people just getting into the New Hampshire 48 4,000 footer list. These were my first two 4,000 footers back in 2016, and now that I completed the list, I can confirm that they are two great options to start with!

Our first one was Mt. Chocorua (3490) about 45 years ago!!! LOL. Then straight to Tuckerman’s..........
Nice job. You’re knowledge and love of hiking the Whites shines brightly.
Great job Taylor. Just what I need to get back at it! Thanks
Terrific video Taylor...
Thanks for taking us along!
Any time!
Hi Taylor. Been watching your channels past couple day. Love the 🎼vibe,footage and everything.
thanks - had foot surgery a year or so ago so needed some easier trails and didn't know what to choose. These kinds of videos help a lot.
Fellow Nahampsha-ite here, ayuh! Great video work. Such a pleasure to watch. Now, I am on to your next video! Thanks.
Great video of the trail and commentary - it’s definitely not easy to hike and vlog especially while ascending !! 👍🏻. Awesome job showcasing these 2 mountains and your reasons for choosing them! 👏🏻😄
Hello from Montana, I enjoyed watching your video, you have lovely scenery there in New Hampshire.
Your videos keep getting better! My daughter promised to go on a hike with me, and after watching this, I think Pierce is just the ticket! Will come up later in September!
Great videos. U do sucha great job filming! Also Cali is a lucky dog! So fun!
We just came across your channel. I love it. I kinda laughed when You said you were going to work right after the hike! I’d be lit for a few days recovering. Lol! NH is beautiful. You are lucky to live close by.
Thanks for making this video, Taylor. These are so encouraging. I’m sure it’s a lot of work stopping to film yourself hiking up, then going back to your camera-then hiking up again!
It’s been a few years (like, 25 😀) since I attempted a 4K-footer (Washington), but didn’t summit due to weather. I think starting with one of these two would be a wise choice for *completing* my first 4K.
This is an excellent Taylor! I love everything about it! So professional
Thanks!
I backpacked and hiked all over the White Mountains when i was much younger.
Thanks for the 4000 footer options,. I can still likely hike those!
Awesome video and editing 🙂 just did Tecumseh for the first time last Saturday when it got some snow
My wife and I watch your videos and we are planning a short section of the AT in early July. This video is great as are all of yours. We are in our late 60's but have done almost half of the AT. Thanks for sharing your views on good beginner hikes in the Whites. We are trying to piece together a loop.
Hoping to call NH home in 2 years. Can't wait to get out in the white mountains again. Love your videos keep them coming please
Two weeks ago, I hiked Mt. Pierce, my first 4,000 footer.
Today on a perfect Fall Day, I hiked Mt. Tecumseh.
I wouldn't have done either without this video.
Thanks Taylor!!!
Love your videos, the chill vibe and the beautiful places... I live in Seacoast NH and have done some of the 4Ks and love seeing the beauty of NH every time. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
It's sooo beautiful here! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank youuuuuuu so much! I’m waiting to order a few more pieces of gear and then gonna start hiking mountains
Wonderful footage! Whites are indeed one of my favorite mountain range to hike. Did Washington and Monroe last July first time up there and was blown away of how beautiful it was! Did 12 4000 footers so far and definitely want to explore more of what the whites offer. Osceolas and Tripyramids will be next..
Beautiful scenery! Thank you.
Will definitely be checking these out next!! started the slow process of peak bagging this summer, but I had to leave for school! seeing your vids helps me live vicariously through you 🤣
Aw that's nice to hear! Glad you enjoyed and hope you get the chance to go back to the mountains soon!
Loved the sweet tea touch.
thanks!
Very cool video. Lots of cool hikes in White Mountains. I go the Adirondacks all the time and there are lots of great hikes there as well
I love watching your videos. They make me want to move to New Hampshire. Keep it up!
I just noticed we have the same necklace.
Great video! I’m heading up this weekend for my first 4K and your footage helps me know what’s to come!
Thanks! And have fun! That's so exciting
Great job, & beautiful views. Enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
cool Taylor! I liked and subscribed right away- probably the only time I do that! you are eminently easygoing and create fun adventure videos thank you 🐦
Mt Pierce had great views! I wished I could take a detour to it when I was on the AT, but I was excited to get over Washington and Madison. Thanks for sharing! Wow I wish I lived close to there!
Excellent concept. Many listings of easier hikes exist but yours shows what to expect, almost step by step. So, one new to hiking can readily judge what's doable and how to attack it. Well done.
Thanks! I appreciate it
Another well presented video. Thanks for taking us along to enjoy the wonderful scenery. I may have to move to N.H.! Stay safe and enjoy.
Thanks!
Good advice. I'm over 65 so I may try Tecumseh, a more doable hike. Hiking season 2024 is coming up! 🥾🥾
Thank you! I'm a brand new beginner and my first was Moosilauke! I have done Tecumseh and just did Whiteface Sunday! I love your content keep up the great work! Its very helpful!
Great job!
Just ordered from your store Taylor. I will be getting more. I love your stuff. Thank you
Thanks, I appreciate it!! I just packaged and shipped it out 😁
Thanks so much for this video. Doing the 52wav now but can now add these two to my 4K introduction! 😊
Yes!
I’m working on my 52 now. I guess I’m doing it a little backwards haha
Thank you for this video, I’m a beginner hiker who live in New Hampshire and dying to do all the 4K footers!
Because of this video, me and my friend will be hiking Mount Tecumseh on Sunday and will be our first 4000 footer. Will also be doing this barefoot. Thank you Taylor! My friend and I have been enjoying your vids keep up the work.
That's awesome, have fun! And barefoot sounds crazy! I don't think I could ever do that haha
I saw your cameo on Bestill on the trail (aka PTL)'s thru-hike vlog from a few days ago, which he posted today. Wonderful to see you being a trail angel to AT thru-hikers, and so looking forward to your thru-hike next year.
Just watched it! Thanks for reminding me to check that out. It was fun meeting him and a bunch of other thru-hikers that day
Another great video. Mt. Pierce was my first. Then we looped to Eisenhower and down. Great veiws! Great video as per usually.
Thanks! Yeah I did Pierce and Eisenhower together for #2 and #3 in fall 2016. Great hike!
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker figure they are so close, why not. Haha.
Happy hiking!!
There is a lot of snappy editing on this video, including footage of you hiking away from camera, which I can appreciate is a lot of work, but it looks amazing. Professional vibe! Thanks for doing this, Taylor. #Nahamsha 🇺🇸 ☮️ ✌🏻
Thanks! I really appreciate that. I feel like I'm getting better and more confident after each video I post. It makes me so happy when people notice!
Thank you for this video - you make me feel like this is something I can do too.
Thank you for doing this channel! I’m thinking about a solo hike up Washington at the end of the month.
Great video. I agree, Tecumseh was a short, easy hike. Recommend for beginner hikers or anyone looking to start their NH48/NE67 journey. Moosilauke is also another quick and easy one.
Beautiful places to hike for sure
For sure :)
Hi Taylor, I hiked Mt Chocorua 15 years ago, I was in much better shape back then. I am starting to get back into day hiking again and plan on heading up to NH next summer for some hikes(I am from Rhode Island) Your videos are great, lots of great information, keep them coming!....Maybe see you on the trail next summer :)
Chocorua is such a great hike, if you ever do it again you should take Piper-Weetamoo-Hammond-Liberty, IMO it’s the best route to the summit. Weetamoo is a beautiful trail, and you get to see Weetamoo Rock.
Thanks for the video. Will be doing Mount Tecumseh this Saturday. Just came back from backpacking Cutler Trail head in Maine. You should consider this for one of your videos. The Coastal cliffs are AMAZING...
I'll look into that, thanks for the recommendation! Enjoy the hike on Saturday!
Taylor, you do a great job of promoting hiking local.
Thanks! It's not hard to promote something you love :)
Taylor the Nahamsha Hiker , that is so true!
Nice views of the presidential range thanks for sharing
Wonderful video, you guys over there have such varied terrain to explore. Subbed..
Awesome beautiful fantastic outstanding vlogging, hiking and scenery, all the very best.
Another great video😊
Great video! love the views! Taking a couple beginner friends up this weekend to the Whites to try hiking and camping overnight in the woods. Would you suggest one of these mountains for that? I know that we would have to find a spot to camp as there is not tent sites. Again great videos, keep up the great work! PS as a side not about snappy editing the Monadnock-Sunapee Trail Part 1 video when you set up your tent is AWESOME! loved it!
Beautiful country. I loved your video
Great scenery. I'm an avid mountain climber on the west coast. Never been to east coast. Inspires me to visit New Hampshire.
Yes! I bet it’s so different. I want to experience a hike on the west coast one day
This was a great idea for a video. It seems like a lot of the videos of the AT in New Hampshire show these heavy-duty climbs and rock scrambles in the Presidentials. I have hiked Mt. Washington myself (and it was no walk in the park, at least for me). So you can get pretty intimidated by the Whites before you even get there. But your videos show some really nice day hikes that get you right up into the nice views with just the right amount of challenge. It's nice to know that the Whites can be so accessible.
Thanks! I hope people can watch the videos and then want to hike it themselves. Maybe watching me do the hike first makes the mountains look less intimidating. My next video is actually a mt.washington day hike, I’m trying to show a big variety of hikes.
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker I hiked Mt. Washington with my son when he was 10 years old. Instead of doing the standard Tuckerman Ravine route, I decided to go up Boott Spur, thinking the more gradual climb would be easier on him. Well, it was still pretty steep, and the uphill was constant, so it turned out to be more challenging than I had intended. He pulled through like a champion, though, even after it started raining once we cleared the tree-line. We had packed fleeces, hats and rain gear, so we were OK. It was quite a memorable hike, though. Luckily, my wife met us at the summit, having driven up the white-knuckle road and waited for us to arrive on foot.
Tecumseh is great for beginners if you enjoy walking up stairs for hours and hours, Im one of the few who found it to be a tough one. Anything with a consistent incline is always rough.
My daughter (6) just hiked her first 4,000 yesterday! Mt. Jackson . Fellow NH hiker here !
I think I might have a crush on you haha great videos, I’m doing Tecumseh solo tomorrow for the first time, thanks for the info!
Loved it! Thank you.
Pierce to Eisenhower was very fun
Great video :)
Just hiked this trail for the first time today with my gf thanks to you !
That's awesome! Hope it was a great day!
Its was a beautiful hike, no views from the top because of cloud coverage but we plan on going again in the spring on a nice clear day!
Your editing has improved 100% ... you’re improving with each and every video.. Becoming more polished .
Thanks! That’s a great compliment, I appreciate it!
second that !
looks like lots of fun great hike for you and your dog, and stop for a paw wash cool down...
Great footage thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Liked how you filmed yourself around your car...I know it takes extra effort but it’s cool! 😊👍
Thanks! 😊 I like trying to show off every aspect of the hike from beginning to end
Well Taylor you are doin great, love your vids! 🥰👍⛰🌲🦌
Great video! Can you film it again in October with all the fall colors? It must be spectacular. p.s. Love your dog
I did most of my hiking in new Hampshire growing up there. Them when I moved over to the west coast for a bit I did a good amount of hiking around the edge of the Phoenix metro valley in Arizona and then northern arizona. Now I'm back in maine and I haven't had the time for a real hike
The Canada Jays seem to like the summits around Crawford Notch.
Tanks Taylor 😊😊
Nice video !
Thanks!
My first 4K was Monroe via Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail and I found it be very easy. The week before I did Little Haystack, a week prior to that I did Sandwich Peak via S. M. Trail and that was the 2nd hardest trail I’ve hiked so far. The hardest was when a friend & I did all 3 Tripyramids, going up Pine Bend Brook Trail and down Sabbaday Brook Trail (mostly in the dark.)
My first ever mountain over 2,300 ft above sea level was Washington. You’ll be alright fsfs
gurl! I'm 52 and you've inspired me sooo much!!
These are two great options for beginner hikes in the whites. I always throw Garfield as one of the first one I would recommend to anybody, depending on the season.
Thank you so much for your videos! As a female hiker I appreciate your insights. Would love to get your thoughts on trail runners and poles. ( :
Thanks! I only hike in Altra trailrunners and only use poles if im doing an overnight trip. I want to start using poles more but I honestly always forget to pack them haha
Pierce is one I need to return to soon. Another "easy" 4000 I'd like to throw in here is Osceola, I've always liked that one.
East Osceola is a bit tougher that Osceola
@@treyjames7757 Quite a bit tougher considering you add in two extra climbs. But it's fun scrambling around the chimney area.
It's ironic that I'm watching your video while camping at IMP campsite 😄 Moriah, Carters , and Wildcats traverse. Probably not a beginner hike though ;)
Fun! That’s the same campsite I stayed at on my first ever overnight trip!
Thank you! Did you ever do Nineteen Mile Brook Trail? My cousin and I did an overnighter up there in '75 or'76.
Yes I have, a while ago
Mt. Pierce is a good one. I did it just a few days before this video. Went over the ridge to Eisenhower then came down Edmands path. My knees did not like Edmands path coming down.
mike wheeler I haven’t done that trail yet! Every times I’ve done Eisenhower I just turn around and go past pierce down Crawford’s path again
Great Video, I know this is an older video but would this be an easy hike for my dog's 1st 4000? Done a couple of smaller mountains in Southern NH
Hey!!! Just came across your channel and subscribed! My channel is devoted to Adirondacks and New Hampshire hiking as well!
Did you ever read the book UP: A Mother and Daughter’s Peakbagging Adventure by Patricia Ellis Herr? She and her young daughter climbed all those mountains. They are from New Hampshire.
New to backpacking what's a good beginner hike with good camp sites? Great hike gotta check these out.
i just restarted my 48s.. i saw the video prior to going up yesterday.. unfortunately nothing like what i saw on pierce which was rain wet and clouds.. you didnt miss much on the M Hut.. its closed now and that trail is a mess (your dog would have hated it imo). Nice video, what camera are you using?
Thanks for the video, I live in Connecticut so a quick trip up to Nah Hamshaw is due.
Do it!
Another great video. But beginner level is driving up Mt Washington and hiking across the car park, remembering to rub some dirt on your face and mess up your hair while you're queuing to take your selfie haha ;)
ooof I'm going to pretend you didn't say that!
Excellent video production, isn't NH just America's greatest hiking region ?
Thanks! I love this area
These are good to know. We are working our 4-year-old up to her first 4Ks shes at 4 miles so far with moderate grades. What was the lake behind you at the beginning? Looked like Northwood lake!
That's exciting, I love seeing kids out there. and that was just a lake in my neighborhood. It's a really pretty spot for filming intros
What camera do you use and do U shoot your own footage.Enjoy your Channel. Makes me wish I lived closer to the mountains
I use my iPhone 10, and yes I do it all myself!
Don't get to polished. You seem very knowledgeable about those mountains. Enjoyed this video very much. Bird eating out her hand was inspiring. ✌
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome Taylor. So helpful. I just did MT Washington 2 months ago. I want to do the presidential traverse. Have you done it and would you suggest backpacking it? Thank you for all your videos. I will order from your store as well. Thank you
If I do the presidential traverse, I'd want to try to do it in one day! I have it on the list for future video ideas :)
You should get together with a few other hike tubers and have each of you do your "Favorite AT Section Hike" videos. Then do a zoom chat with all the other tubers introducing their hike, and commenting on others, then edit it all together.
I like being the first to do big stuff too.
Hi Taylor, thanks for the video, great job. Where did you get that cell phone carrier? that you have on your shoulder strap?
Thanks
Major Dave.
It's the "Clakit Smartphone Strap Pack" onAmazon
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker thankyou I just bought 2. I recently bought the osprey 55l aether backpack. One of the main reasons was bc they had hip belt pockets for easy access. Turned out to be too small for my phone. This is the perfect solution. Getting ready to start hitting the 48's next year. Your videos are inspiring.
Taylor, I noticed you jogging in the beginning of this video. It reminder me of my visits to Boulder, CO to see my daughter while she was in college. We would hike up some tough trails and I would see these incredible young hikers jogging up and down like it was nothing. Do you frequently jog on the trails? I think the Boulder trail was The Royal Arch trail.. if anyone of your subscribers is from Boulder area.
I don't usually jog but sometimes going downhill I will. And there's a couple smaller trails I will jog to try to beat my previous time. I'm no where near as fit as the people who trail run regularly!
I used to jog the Royal Arch Trail trail in college. We would race each other on it for best time starting at the water tower. Thanks for the comment - just made me super nostalgic.
@@samrhoades5088 that's some serious crazy ass running ... you had to be in great shape.
What find of watch do you use? I have a Fit Bit Versa, but I am thinking of switching.
