My question is for those that have explored both the Whites (or anything East of Champlain really) and Daks thoroughly. Maybe a 46er and 48 finisher would be best. Do you prefer the Whites or Daks and why. I have extensively explored NH and have done majority of the 48. Have backpacked or day trekked several trips including entire AT, Cohos Trail, Pemi, Wild River, and Presis areas. I also lived in Maine 8 years and have hit all the big areas in the state for hiking as well as most of VT high areas including all of Long Trail I have never explored the Daks other than one day skiing at Gore.
Which do you prefer? Which has better peak bagging or has better backpacking options. How are the crowds, particularlly on the 46ers and around the High Peaks vs the 48 or place like the Pemi or Presis. Is it easy to find Solitude off the beaten track in the DAks since they are so vast?
What do you like about one vs the other.
Any input would be nice.
