We planned this hike a full year in advance to secure Hut space. Who would have thought we would be hiking in record breaking rainfall in the White Mountains National Forest, New Hampshire in the last week of August/first week of September. In all, we spent nine days hiking, and six days going Hut to Hut. This video (Part 1: Hut to Hut) includes the Galehead River Trail, Galehead Mountain, Galehead Hut, South Twin Mountain, Twinway Trail (also Appalachian Trial), Mount Guyot, Mount Zealand, Zealand Falls and the Hut, and the Zealand Falls Trail back down.

Are you over 60? Do you enjoy the outdoors and want to try backpacking? Wondering if you can? Be assured you can!
If we can do it (60+ and overweight), you can do it!
If you have any questions at all about our New Hampshire hiking adventures please feel free to reach out in the comments section below. We love to talk about our hiking and backpacking adventures.

We both work full time. Backpacking (and making videos) is a hobby we love. If you enjoy our videos, we would very much appreciate a thumbs up and/or a comment, so we know you are enjoying what we are sharing. If you want to get notices when we post videos and encourage us to keep spending our free time putting these together, please subscribe as well. Regardless get out there!!!
