Good year for White Mountains

[Wandering Daisy]

I know the White Mountains are not the Sierra, but I posted here because a lot of folks do not read the other than Sierra sub-forum.

I have done three early season trips in the White Mountains where water sources are a major issue. This year there will likely be snowmelt up on top. If you have the mountaineering experience, Boundary Peak is a great hike that can be accessed from the east side very early. You can also go in farther south, camp below the top plateau and then peak-bag along the top.

I put in a trip report in the "Beyond Sierra" section.

Thanks for that "head's up". I've wanted to do Boundary for many years now.

Thanks Daisy!
I’ve actually been thinking about the Whites this year. I’ve been there a few times I would never have considered a backpack there because it would all be dry camping. I will definitely check out your trip report.
