I am hiking with a friend. Here is the route we plan to take, starting at the Willey House. We will leave a second vehicle at Crawford Notch before starting our hike.
I hope to hit the trail around 7 a.m. You’ll be able to watch my progress below, which will be tracked by my DeLorme InReach Explorer Two Way Satellite Communicator. It should start updating my location as soon as I hit the trail.
