Looking to hike the White mountains for the first time. Still have some chops at 63 but between me and my hiking partner, I may have a range limit of ten miles and 3000 - 4000 elevation gain/loss. The Franconia Ridge loop hike seems to be doable, but one never knows. For all you folks who have...

Since we already have an Allen poll, I thought I'd ask my burning question. Is it better to dayhike or overnight Santanoni, Couch and Panther? The distance, at least, is well within my day-hike range. Just these three and Big Slide left for my 46. I'm open to any and all advice. Thanks

Besides the Uphill lean-to, are there any designated camping areas near the Redfireld herd path? Is there room near the lean-to for a couple of tents? Thanks

Is it possible to park at the Garden before 8am on a weekday in June? I read somewhere that it is gated until 8am. Thanks

Planning on dayhiking the Great Range. Would the best (read "quickest", "most doable")approach be from The Garden or AMR? Any details (times, best approach direction is appreciated). Thanks.
