If you're planning a hike along the AT or any of the other trails in the western part of the White Mountain NF in the vicinity of the old Ore Hill Mine site, be aware that reclamation work has begun and the Forest Supervisor has issued a closure order for public health and safety reasons. You can see the order and a map of the area here: http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/forests/whi...ore_hill/Ore_Hill Mine_Closure_Order_2006.pdf
