Thanks for sharing the trip with us. That slimmer, trimmer you seems to have no problems with mileage and steepness of the trail. As always, looking forward to your next vlog, but please just "don't die" we'll really miss the ya. LOL!
Chris, I love this type of trip. You are exploring the trails and sharing them with us. I have done the hike from Ethan Pond to Zeacliff, it’s no joke. The views were awesome. The flat trail from The Zealand Trail head was courtesy the Zealand Valley Railroad. You could the shelf they carved for the railbed nicely see from Zeacliff. Take care.
I remember seeing the elevation profile for that section on the AT and thinking it would be a lie how flat that railroad section was but oooooo how nice it was haha
Glad you are making regular videos again. I always look forward to them as there are few white mountain vloggers. Noticed you have a Durston XMid Pro. How do yoga like it compared to Altapex. Looking forward to more videos from you!
I picked up just the regular xmid 1p, wish it was the pro though haha. Its ok. Going to use it a little more. I actually think I would like the pro better. The DCF shelters have really spoiled me
I hiked up Avalon from the train station at Crawford Notch 2 years ago on an absolutely perfect mid-October day. Didn't really realize how steep that climb up to the summit was but those views were well worth the effort. I got up there early enough to have the summit all to myself for a little over an hour. Hiked backed down and rewarded myself with lunch, a beer, and gorgeous views from the AMC Highland Center. Great memories. Thanks again for your videos of this absolutely gorgeous part of the world!!!
That sounds amazing! The first time we went up it in the winter we climbed from the same spot after hitting Mt Willard too. We didnt get down until it was dark. I remember the final little trail in the snow was quite difficult to get up to the actual summit but we ended up making it. I think we were only up there maybe like 5 minutes from how brutally cold it was
Zeacliff's one of the best! Good view of a part of the Pemi wilderness that you don't often get to see from other viewpoints. Also cool that the only manmade structures you can see from that viewpoint are the Mt. Washington tower and the Ethan Pond trail.
I've missed the views on Mt Carrigain 2.5 times. 1st was in winter and it was snowing at the top, 2nd was rain and fog, and then I walked by it on a multiday trip and was going to go up but it was again fogged in.... One day....
Awesome video! I love your cynical embracing of type 2 fun! I can only imagine the emotions you must have been feeling on Zeacliff, after skipping it on your AT thru!
So far so good, I've had it since the end of January. I do miss the van and being able to have essentially a mobile sleeping quarters but the forester works for that too, just not as ideal. The real testing will come once snow comes again this winter
Two of my favorite TH-cam channels, you are both inspiring. Chris, best of luck with your "Red-lining" (sp)? I was wondering if you have chosen your final trail yet, so it won't be a " Mt. Hale" type finish 😉. Rachelle, you are killing it out there this season- hope you are enjoying it as much as you seem to be!!
@@marknadow5860 I havent, I've just been totally winging it. At this route it will probably be something in the Northern Presidential area or wester Presidential area. Or just some random .01 trail in the middle of nowhere that I somehow passed over by accident haha

I was right across the way doing the Jackson-Webster!
Great video. It was great running into you on trail. Thanks for stopping to chat with us!!

Chris it was awesome to meet you at the top of zeacliff trail (I was trail running to Guyout), keep up the awesome videos!
Hey Nice bumping into you up there, hope the run went well!
Absolutely stunning upload bud, you elaborated this so nicely! Simply enjoyable content! 👏👏
It looked amazing
Great trip, Chris! I'm heading out locally tomorrow. Will probably hike Mt. Kearsarge via Lincoln Trail.
glad you made it back
great spot in the fall also.
Great views!

Also the tower on Carrigain!

Agreed it was pretty amazing. Felt like a very unique viewpoint!
@@michaelrousseau8851 You have to be trying real hard to see that (or have binoculars)
Great video Chris, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Glad it wasn’t as humid as last time out
Chris, what's up? Those are some boulders. What caused all that? Like your channel. Some stunning views
Awesome video! I love your cynical embracing of type 2 fun! I can only imagine the emotions you must have been feeling on Zeacliff, after skipping it on your AT thru!
Had actual chills, was smiling hard. It really was worth the trip back!
Do you ever see the sun and a beautiful blue sky?
Hey how do you like the forester, I have been looking into them
So far so good, I've had it since the end of January. I do miss the van and being able to have essentially a mobile sleeping quarters but the forester works for that too, just not as ideal. The real testing will come once snow comes again this winter
Good intro but I force myself to skip it so I can be surprised throughout the video. 😆
Very acceptable Rachel!

Rachel-love your videos. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Chris, I love how you get emotional at the beauty of the Whites. I feel the same.
So, you did the AT?
I did indeed th-cam.com/video/dOii552othk/w-d-xo.html
