My solo day hike to Mt Jefferson following the Six Husbands Trail in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Mt Jefferson counts for the New Hampshire 48 4000 Footer (NH48) hiking list and the Six Husbands Trail counts for "The Terrifying 25" (T25) hiking list. The New Hampshire 48 4000 Footer list, created by the Appalachian Mountain Club, consists of 48 mountains in New Hampshire with elevations of at least 4,000 feet and a minimum of 200 feet prominence. The Terrifying 25 list, created by the Herrs, consists of the most interesting White Mountains trails that have slides, rock scrambles, or boulder caves. This video is part of my series where I attempt to find the best day hikes in New Hampshire. Have I found the most terrifying day hike in New Hampshire? A top day hike in New Hampshire instead? Specifically, Mt Jefferson is located near Gorham NH in the White Mountain National Forest.

Who else hates rickety ladders?

Well, Adam, I heard the change in the voice, and you were definitely not playing at it. That was getting to you. Please do not put yourself at unnecessary risk for us. Brilliant vlog with amazing views. Thanks for sharing.
-
I kept hoping someone was filming you, because I did this trail once and I cannot fathom hiking back on certain parts for the camera! This made me relive some terrifying moments haha.
-
Wow this one looks like one hell of a hike. I was scared just watching your video. Another great job, thanks Adam!
-
Thanks. This was my first backpacking trip into the presidential range. Memorable.
-
Did trail maintenance on that trail this summer, clearing brush on those ladders was a doozy.
-
Another kick-butt adventure. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for giving me hiking ideas, especially for times I want to step out of my comfort zone!! Love some of the close up scenic shots you got!!
-
Thank you for all the videos you make. Not only do you do a great job making them...they are so valuable to everyone to preview trails that they should or should not do....keeping people inspired and safe at the same time...thank you for all you do!
-
Can't believe the number of times you went up and down the ladders and rock scrambles to get all the angles. Wow is all I can say... Thanks for all the work showing us these T-25 trails!
-
Great beta for Six Husbands. I haven't hiked or camped in that area - so I appreciate this.
-
This place is magnificent! Watching this just makes me feel good! Bravo my friend 🔥🔥
-
Also the beginning music and scenery is great! Its giving studio ghibli
-
NIce video. Thanks for sharing. 👍117

Great video! That does look terrifying! I was so ready to go out there until I saw that ladder scramble. (I froze for a couple minutes on Mt. Morgan, I have to admit!) Well, I hope to try this one someday!
-
I’m good xD I just did Flume slide trail and that was enough thrills for me.
-
This was awesome. Looks like a great hike if you want to avoid the crowds. Also, I'm curious how much extra distance do you think you walk setting your camera up and then going back to retrieve it?
-
I thought you were moving pretty quickly over that rough terrain. That 1 does look truly terrifying. I definitely would have loved to hike that in my 20s. Never gonna do that at my age now. But was fun to watch You do it.
-
Going to do the Franconia ridge loop tomorrow morning! See you up there Adam!
-
I'm always amazed at how many people hike these trails in shoes that are not waterproof.
-
Looks like a heart pounding hike but it really looks more to be a climb than anything else. It must have been a bit nerve-racking to go back down! I know I'd much rather climb up than down! Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure! 😉
