Protect the Trails, Preserve the Legacy

“In the nearly two centuries since the Crawford constructed the first crude footpath onto the heights of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range, the White Mountain trail system has evolved into an intricate network featuring more than 1,400 miles of marked paths. By the 1850s, travel to the White Mountains became significantly less tedious as rail lines connected the region to Boston and New York, where it became a fashionable summertime destination for the upper classes to escape the heat and filth of Northeast’s big cities. Grand hotels and summit houses were situated on many of the region’s high peaks, which served as regional hubs for more trail building.”
