The White Mountains 100 follows the Appalachian Trail across New Hampshire from Gorham to Glencliff, with 34,000 feet of climbing over four ridgelines: Carter-Moriah, the Presidentials, Franconia and Kinsman.
It tops 14 of the state’s 48 four-thousand-footers along the way, including Mount Washington, the highest point in the Northeast. Thru-hikers consider it one of the most rugged stretches of the entire AT. Kristina Folcik, who set the route’s first supported FKT, called it possibly one of the hardest 100-mile adventures in the country.
Singletrack’s Finn Melanson decided to fastpack the whole thing and spend time along the way with the people who run, hike and care for these mountains.
Melanson captured the experience in a Singletrack film about the Whites 100. Check out here:
