February… Real winter… Cover up! Let’s hit the trail up to Middle and South Carter. Feel the cold biting through your skin and the wind ferociously howling through your ears… Hopefully…That wont be the case cause you will be in BEAST MODE geared up to defy White mountain weather! We are not suicidal neither!


We may not have an amazing view however but will be perfect to see little winter wonderland waiting for us.


I hope you are not afraid of the dark, cause who knows if daylight runs low, you will need your headlamps to guide your little lost soul.


This is not a hike for beginners.
