Why it works

Mount Washington has the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth's surface and weather that can turn life-threatening within minutes — accurate above-treeline route and emergency shelter (AMC hut) location mapping is essential for safe navigation on the Presidential Range. The Presidential Traverse is one of the most demanding day hikes in the eastern US, requiring detailed trail and terrain mapping. Waterproof construction is critical on the Presidentials where rain, wind, and icing can occur in any month of the year.

Ideal for

Serious hikers, mountaineers, AT section hikers, and AMC hut-to-hut travelers exploring the Presidential Range and Mount Washington in New Hampshire. See also NGTI740 (Franconia Notch & North Conway) for adjacent coverage.
