I loved that! Thanks for making it and happy summer!!
Always great to see you out on trail and 2 see 2 Moose in one day, how awesome. Great video as always and I love the camp lights
Love your videos and especially love seeing you on the AT again. Happy trails 🤘🏻🥾🏕
Thanks! It felt great to be on the AT
Fantastic video, have done Mt Monroe and Washington awhile back, and am going to be back in a few weeks, can hardly wait!
Such a beautiful part of the country and your video really shows it at its best :)
Great hike Taylor! In the mid seventies a friend and I made a couple trips over there from Maine. On Memorial Day we skiied Tuckerman's Ravine and there was still almost 20 feet of snow.It was EPIC! The year before we went over and rode our bikes (we used to race) up the Auto Road. We got to about 4500' and the clouds were so thick we couldn't see and had to abandon. There were no guard rails, just a boulder every 20 feet or so, and a sheer drop beyond. A bit sketchy. On the descent we had to stop every mile or so because riding the brakes caused the glue holding on our tires to melt and they would start to roll off the rim. Been following you since the beginning, thanks for the memories. Gib
I love that you are getting back out into the woods (especially on the AT) and documenting it for yourself and us. I an obsessed with your videos. Keep it up girl. Can't wait to see what else you do in the future.
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm planning on hitting this loop this year. I was excited to see you had a video on it!
Thanks for taking us hiking.
That’s awesome! 30,000. I remember when you had less than 500. You do provide great content!
I just recently found your channel and LOVE it. I’m also a (new) solo hiker woman in NH and your videos bring me such joy.
Awesome! Thanks!
I love the animated cut scene.
"Those rocks suck", she said with an ever present smile. Thank you for the content.
haha Thanks!
This was the way I was going to come back, but because of the weather I and to bail on the loop, glad to know what it's like! I'll be back! Thanks for sharing! 🙏
I also don't understand why they have a pic of a bike for 'no hitchhiking' 😆
That was the most fun! I loved that you saw a moose and the cute little hiking graphic that you put along with it 😂
I literally gasped out loud when you said the elevation gain out of the campsite 😂. The Whites are no joke!
haha thanks! i enjoyed making that graphic.
and yes! soooo steep at the beginning!
That must be a really good friend to tackle that hike the first time out! Impressive. How cool to see a moose. That was your reward.
Hahah I gave her a few backpacking options and this was the one she went with!
Yea and she did a fantastic job 👏🏼
I was thinking as you were walking over the tracks that it looked like something got smooshed by the train. That’s a tough hike, I would have waved to Adams too 😂
Congrats on 30k subs!
You're definitely an awesome hiker !
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on 30,000+ subscribers!!!
Thank you!!
Hello Taylor. Great video of the Presidential Loop Hike. I was in the White Mountains Memorial Day Week. Took the Cog Railway up Mount Washington on June 1st. My first trip to the Whites. Many more to come. Your videos were a huge help in planning my trip. Thank You for all of your hard work.
That's awesome! I must've just missed you. This was June 1st too.
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker My train ride was 11:00 am. At the summit 11:45 to 12:45 then back down. Best experience ever!
Great hike, love the ending!
hah thanks!
Really great route and video. This came just in time as I'm (hopefully) hiking washington up tuck's ravine this weekend, so I'm really glad to see recent trail conditions.
Thanks! Have a great trip!
@@Mskarin03 no, we heeded the warnings. Weather was far too bad to head up that way.
Great vid Taylor! Nice to have a friend along even if she was a bit bashful!😝 Congrats on 30K subs too!!! ❤️👍🏕🏔
Yes! Thank you!
Congratulations on 30k! You should do short hiking trips for us novice hikers! Take a small group out a couple nights to get our feet wet!❤️💜😊
Great video I loved it all the fog was cool
The lights are truly a nice touch. I even have them in my little hooch of an apartment. A tiny ten light string in the bathroom and another in the hall. And they will go on my next overnight-er. Thx
Congrats on the 30K subscribers.
They really do transform the camp site!
Thanks!
I did that loop a few years ago, only in reverse,
- summited Mt Washington up Tuckerman, descended Gulfside and stayed at the Madison Spring Hut. The next day I just followed the AT nobo up Madison and down Osgood, etc to Pinkham Notch. Then treated myself to an overnight at the Wentworth in Jackson.
That’s awesome! Hey I know Janine!
Congratulations on 30K! And you had two moose come to celebrate it. That is crazy.
Thanks! There was actually a third moose on the way home too! It was crazy
Went up Mt. Washington via road tour. It was amazing terrain you travel through.
Great video Taylor! That's a long route. We got to say hi to you last year on 9/11 at the Madison Hut. Your dog was finishing the 48 that day. I'm still only 32/48 haha. Keep hiking!
Nice! That was a great day. and 32 is a lot!
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Wow you definitely were in favor of the mountain gods that day. I have only seen moose 💩. Nice video subscribing. That book looks pretty useful. Many more blessings
Since I saw your light setup in another video I ordered some lol!
Not at REI as I live in Canada, but I found something similar here.
I can't wait to try this in less than a month! My first camping trip of the season.
Nice, have a great trip!
Did this loop (in reverse) on May 25th and 26th. Went up Tuckerman Ravine to Boott Spurr, then up Washington. Over Clay, Jefferson, and Adams. Spring Hut was closed but camped just outside of it. It was over 15 miles and about 7,000ft of elevation on that first day. Finished the next morning in just a few hours. Yes, it was a tough hike. Brutal terrain for most of the way, and the Boott Spur route at the beginning may not have been the best idea. Still, we really enjoyed this loop.
Congrats on reaching 30k subscribers 👍
Thanks! 😃
Taylah u ahhh wicked awesome!
Congratulations on 30k, I just made 50. Not 50k
just 50.
Cool hike I'm going to order that book from your store. Thanks for another cool video.
heading up there next month, bringing my nephews for their first trip.
Was up at Tuckerman's ravine a few weeks ago. Golly gosh I love Mt. Washington! You're a moose wisperer rockin the frogg toggs lol. Maybe accessorize with a waist belt or scarf and start a trend !
Hahah. Mt. Washington is pretty amazing!
That was a long hard day, good job.
It was.. thank you!
You deserve more than 30K
Thanks!
Thank you, Howard!!
Though you couldn't see it, by the sound of it. you must have caught the early morning steam engine run of the Cog. I loved your line about NH not usually having switchbacks. I had mentioned that in a few of my videos. I have found that the Balknaps have a lot more switchbacks than the Whites. Gulfside Trail from Mt. Wash. to Mt. Jefferson is gorgeous. Some day, I will attempt a hike from Madison Springs to Mt. Wash. and back.
We actually caught the last cog run of the day! While we were in the café at the summit, they called last call.
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker I am hoping to do some short overnighters. This Summer. I want to head out to the Sawyer Pond shelter and then do Garfield Tent site. I did that abou14 years ago. I wand to do it again to get some night sky photographs.
I have red Crocs, too!
That was funny at the end " I almost hit a F'en Moose"
The squirrels!
Taylor have you thought of doing an online class on how you film and edit on trail? I’ll join that class!
Great video...again! two things that really got me smile, first the moose....well your reaction in fact! They're so big and at the same time almost ghost like. And secondly, the squirrels at the beginning of your hike..... dunno if they were fighting or mating but anyhow a second of surprise for me!!
I have a question for you since your clearly a reference for hiking in the whites.... what do you use to check the weather before a hike up there? apps or internet site ? I will spend 4 days hiking the summits around Lincoln nextJuly and I want to have a clear idea about the weather. Thank you so much for the great content that you put out in each of your videos. Cheers from Canada!
haha yesss i was waiting for someone to comment on the squirrels. I like using mountain-forecast.com the most for checking the weather for the summits of the mountains I'm hiking. Gives a really good indictation of the "feels like" temp and the wind.
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker Thanks for the reply and please, keep doing videos! you are really good at what you do and a great motivation to go hiking!
The Mount Washington Observatory higher summits forecast is great too!
Did I hear you say that was your friend’s first hike? If so, that was a tough one! Good to see you back on trail!
First overnight hike. She does a lot of hiking in the Whites too
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker Thanks!
The human brain is so weird! Your moose sighting reminds me of a deer sighting I had earlier this spring at home. Out of nowhere, the thought struck me, "I'm going to see a deer today." Only minutes later, three deer ran across my front yard. It's not entirely unheard of for deer to cross my yard, but it happens infrequently enough that I legit wondered whether I summoned them somehow. Let's just say I'm going to try reeeeeeeally hard not to think about bears next time I'm out camping... 😂
haha its so weird when that happens! I started to wonder if I subconsciously saw the moose before I actually thought I saw the moose.
2 moose in one day! Lucky you, glad u didn't hit it! Great video as always!
Thanks! And there was actually a third on the way home too!
Why haven't you been bringing the tigerwall the last couple trips ?
I thought that's why you got it.
Just curious.
🦋
hi!
Nice
Thanks
There is movie on Prime Video called Infinite Storm starting N. Watts -- the location is that mountain. Should check it out.
Neat! I'll check it out
What are your camp lights? I’m going camping this weekend and want to pick some up! 😅
They are from REI! bit.ly/3lHvsmO
They're 30 ft long, only a couple ounces, and plug into a battery bank via USB. They are so cool!
Is it just me, or did Mountain House (Oregon Freeze-Dry) stop putting as much cheese in the lasagna meals?
just a few years back there was enough cheese in them that it really stuck to your spoon. But the one's I've had in the past 2 or 3 years don't seem very cheesy.
One thing I will say, no matter how wet I am I have never gotten in my SUV with my rain gear on. LMAO
Haha I find oversized rain gear quite comfy!
👋
5.7K of elevation for a first backpacking trip... good work Janine (sp?) ... Also, which watch do you have?
shes a champ! I have the coros apex pro
😎😎
Taylor-how’s life?! total incredible - see you later~😎
It's pretty great!
This was your friends first backpacking trip? You must not like her very much! :)
7:57 Never heard the term " Blueberry Day" before
a bluebird day. I think it's a term mostly used in skiiing. It describes a bright blue sky with no clouds.
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker cool ... thanks
What watch is that? Or what watch do you recommend???
I have some advice for you. I also use to get migraines and they we're debilitating . I use a drug called doxepin. it totally eliminated my migraines. You take it daily at bedtime.. It has two side effects , sedation and dry mouth. Both side effects lapse with time. Hope it helps you.
Daniel
I too would pack a Diet Pepsi 🙂
So refreshing!
Taylor, what tent was your friend using?
Koda 1 Alps Mountaineering
What were those squirrels doing?
😆 they were having a good day
Taylor If you Camp outside where do you Change your clothes in Terms of privacy?
On this trip, I didn't change my clothes. But it could be done in my tent, in the woods or a bathroom/ privy
where in the Woods?
@@silaslutjohann1530 a few feet of trail, behind a tree or rock or something. If just change quick
Why are you now taking the string lights?
Because they are cool!
Loved it. Keep doing you. Loved the moose/switchback animation. Work on the potty mouth.
i JUST FIGURED OUT "nahamsha" equals New Hampshire. At least I think so. I'm from Massachusetts forgive me.
Correct
I don't know why but seeing you say the F word made me so happy! You should work it into more of your videos 😜
Well now Taylor, did you just use the f word? Sometimes those responses (unedited) are the best. I won't hold it against you. I have used the f word myself a few times in response to moose encounters. When my own daughters were in high school twenty years ago, I wouldn't let them drive after dark on account of moose. Anyway Taylor, your videos are great.
