<h1>The New Hampshire Fours in Eight Days<br />Daily Distances and Elevation Gains, Plus Comments</h1>
</div> <!-- header div -->
<div id="main">
<p>I have attempted to calculate the daily distances and elevation
gains of the <a href="eight-days.html">eight day 4,000 footer
adventure</a>, based on my guesses as to which trails were used. I
believe that any errors will be minor, with little impact on the
totals.</p>
<p>It was while computing this table that I was finally able to
understand this achievement. Previously it had seemed
incomprehensible: not merely was it beyond my ability to emulate;
it was beyond my ability to understand. With increased
understanding came more, rather than less, respect.</p>
<p>Let me begin with day 4. I have done the Bonds/Twins traverse,
and found it exhausting. I certainly could not have done any hiking
for a couple of days after it. Not only did they do it in the
middle of daily hikes, but before starting on it they also did the
Hancocks, a "mere" ten miles!</p>
<p>I have attempted two Presidential Traverses, in both cases
ending at Pierce and bypassing a few summits. Again, an exhausting
hike requiring a few days of recovery. They did the traverse going
over all the peaks in the middle of a week of intense hiking. And
instead of going gently down from the summit of Mount Washington to
Lakes of the Clouds Hut, they made a "slight" detour. They went
down (with a few ups) the Davis Path to Mount Isolation, then
descended to the Dry River, and finally climbed out of that valley
to the hut. Instead of about a mile of downhill they hiked about
13½ extra miles with about 3,500 feet of elevation gain!</p>
<p>I invite the reader who is familiar with these peaks to look at
each day; to try to imagine the effort required to do it; and
finally to imagine stringing these trips on consecutive days, with
no rest in between.</p>
