Sometimes called the most difficult and dangerous trail in the White Mountains (which is saying something!) the Huntington Ravine Trail take you straight up sheer slabs of granite up the iconic Huntington Ravine on the eastern side of Mount Washington. This steep, exposed trail is a fantastic challenge for experienced hikers, but please use good judgment and caution before embarking on this trail; on Mount Washington in particular the weather can turn on a dime and this trail is exposed and steep with sheer drops and loose rock.
