Description

The two mega classic New Hampshire runs combined into a giant figure 8; starting, intersecting, and stopping at the AMC Highland Center train tracks. Combining the Presidential Traverse and Pemi Loop into a continuous push of all day mountain fun.

The route allows for a re-supply, if needed, to be left in the car at Crawford Notch, which is just less or just over the halfway point.
