Trip report
Sep 17, 2014 — I heard the Huntington Ravine Trail was the most difficult hike in the White Mountains due to its section of Class 3+ (maybe Class 4?) scramble toward the top. Along the trail there's a waterfall, boulder hopping, lush forest trails, scrambling, and of course the views: overall an outstanding trip. Mt. Washington's summit is gorgeous, despite the ugly observation deck and tourist train blowhorn that you can hear from miles away. I decided to descend on the more scenic Lion's Head Trail, with open ridiculous views of the surrounding mountains, and join up with the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, rather than just take the Tuckerman Ravine Trail all the way down.
