@chucksonpeaks: Presidential Traverse vs. Pemi Loop. Which one is harder? Both are incredible hikes, but between the exposure, elevation, mileage, and how remote the Pemi feels, they’re two very different challenges. I’m grateful I got to experience both this year, and I’m already looking forward to what’s next. I have to give the crown to the Pemi Loop though. No routes match this challenge until we start talking ultra longs like WM100 and Pemidential… What should I take on next? #WhiteMountains #PresidentialTraverse #PemiLoop #NewHampshireHiking #HikingAdventures
did you do the pemi before or after the Lincoln woods closure?

I’ve done the Pemi twice and Pres traverse once, October 2016, 2017 and 2019. All one day. Agree it’s hard to say. Agree on conditions mattering. Did the Pemi once in a cold downpour when no one else was out there so that made it feel scarier.

I’ve done the presidential traverse 5 times and and the pemi loop only once. The pemi loop was the biggest sufferfest of my life lol. So much fun nonetheless!
