Arrival Time:
All hikers are strongly advised to arrive at the trailhead half an hour before the scheduled hike start time. This allows for proper group coordination and ensures a timely departure.
Purpose of the Hike:
Peaking the mountain is never the sole objective of our hikes. We embark on these journeys to hike, enjoy nature, and foster a sense of community. If circumstances such as weather, injury, or group dynamics suggest turning back is the best option, your guides will make this decision promptly.
Prior Experience:
No prior hiking experience is necessary, but an open mind to the trails is encouraged. Even beginner hikes in the White Mountains present challenges due to rocky terrain, water crossings, and elevation gains. Embrace the adventure, meet the mountain, and learn along the way.
