Hi all:
I am obviously new to the forum, so I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Nicholas, a 25 year old backpacker/hiker/outdoors enthusiast. I most recently climbed Mount Washington in July, and it was the most exhilarating hike I've ever been on. The sheer challenging nature of the climb is rather formidable, and the specific trail that I took, Lion's Head, only contributed to the amount of extraordinary effort that needed to be exerted to climb to the summit.
Now, autumn is in full swing and winter is just around the corner. From online sources to the folks at the Pinkham Notch Visitor's Center, it seems that the universal advice is to not climb Mount Washington as an inexperienced or moderately experienced backpacker. Is the same philosophy endorsed by members of this forum? If so, what are some fun yet reasonably sized mountains that are able to be conquered in the upcoming cold and snowy season? Thanks!
