A belated thank you. I ended up calling the AMC and found out that there is a 4pm shuttle from Highland to Pinkham that worked with my schedule. The shuttle schedule as posted on their site is a little confusing so I'm glad I reached out to them. I just wrapped up a glorious 3 day hike of the...

Hello I'm planning a 3-day hike of the Prezies starting at Madison and ending at Jackson. I'd like to leave my car at Crawford since I have reservations to stay at Joe Dodge so I can get an early start on the trail on Saturday. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get a ride, taxi...

Thank you! Good info from both of you. Thanks!

Hello I'm planning a hike of the Carters and Wildcat range after October 14 when the AMC shuttle stops service for the season. Any good recommendations for transportation to the Imp Trail early on a Saturday morning if I leave my car at Pinkham notch?

I love your picture. Did you take it yourself??
