With the recent posted related to the Pemi wilderness and my abundant time off right now (unemployed), I'd like to get up there this coming week for a traverse and some peak baggin'.
I'm thinking along the lines of a hike from Liberty Springs parking area to either Zealand Trailhead or Crawford Notch, using the AMC shuttle in between.
Planned campsites would be Garfield and Guyot sites. I also plan to travel light, no stove, bivouac, etc.
Here are my questions (given I'll be driving all the way from MD):
Anyone with experience using the shuttle?
There’s no mention on the AMC website about bear preventative measures at either wilderness campsite…is there a cable provided? Metal box? Or is it a Do it Yourself job?
Would there be a preferred direction – I prefer to park in Liberty Spring, as I’ll be coming up from WAY south, but maybe leaving the Franconia Ridge as my last day would be a little too full hearty!?
Thanks a lot!
