Pemi Loop starts down near Loon and does the east side of Franconia Notch over to the Bonds. We have that pup on the schedule for the last weekend of September! :eek:

<edit> actually just found this in my email from the coordinator of our hike re: Pemi Loop
The loop is called the "Second toughest Dayhike in the US", according to "Backpacker Magazine"
Typically done Clockwise starting from Lincoln Woods, the trip is 31.5 miles, 9150 elevation gain, book time is 20:20 (add the side loops and it bumps up to 36 miles, 10500 feet gain). The trip reports I've read say that the unofficial record for the loop is around 7.5 hours!

Pemi Loop. This starts at Lincoln Woods, and takes the Wilderness and Osseo trails to Franconia Ridge. Then it goes along the Franconia and Garfield Ridges, up the Twinway over South Twin to Guyot, then over the Bonds and back to Lincoln Woods by the Wilderness trail (lp: 31.5 miles, 9,150 feet, 20:20).

Looks like Im in deep sh**

Sorry for the hijack.

No... last weekend of Sept. If you do it, post a TR w/pics!

Mt. Washington is pretty sweet in the winter though- less people, no cars, no railroad, etc. In the summer I'd rather be on Madison I think...
