Few water crossings at the start of the Huntington Ravine Trail, was able to rockhop part of it but had to get my feet wet in a couple spots. This was before the real scrambling begins, though, so was not an issue. |

There were a couple times in the steep scramble high up the ravine that it was unclear where exactly the trail goes - blazed pretty well mostly but could use some more clear markings in some places. |

 | Bugs: |
Some large spiders making webs in the crevices of the rocks in the ravine, so just double check where you're putting your hands. |

What an awesome trail and a great day to do the hardest hike in the Whites. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time for this hike (should it even be called a hike? It really felt like long-distance bouldering is a more appropriate term). While there was some water below the ravine, the trail was totally dry once the ravine opens up. Took a little over four hours to get from Pinkham Notch to the summit. Boott Spur also has a lot of uneven footing and is kinda muddy at lower elevation, so be cautious here too. Definitely would have been much harder to do without trekking poles to support myself. Took about three and a half hours on the descent. |
