[at-l] White Mt. Hike?

[m_factor@hotmail.com (Mara Factor)]

Hi Sharon,

You might still be able to get mid-week hut reservations.  Give the 
reservations desk a call at 603-466-2727.

A good semi-loop hike that could include Mt. Washington might be from the 
south.  The Davis/Dry River/Staircase loop makes a good loop by Mt. 
Isolation and you could easily continue north to hit Mt. Washington.  
There's also two shelters along the Davis path and a number of established 
campsites along both the Davis and Dry River trails.

Also, let me know when you're going.  I might be available to provide a 
weekend shuttle if you prefer to do a point-to-point.  The Kanc to Crawford 
might be nice by way of 13 Falls, Galehead, South Twin, Zealand, and then 
either the A-Z or the Notch past Thoreau Falls and Ethan Pond.

There are plenty of other options as well.
