The Presidential Traverse
Lincoln NH, the heart of the White Mountains. The Presidential Traverse is one of the most epic hikes in the White Mountains, and also among the most challenging. Traversing the entire length of the Presidential Range, hikers will summit at least seven 4,000-footers including New Hampshire’s five tallest peaks. The majority of the trail is above the tree line and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
Thank you Tyler
Hey everyone, I’m Tyler Murphy and today is my last day as a summer intern for Burgeon Outdoor. I am a few weeks away from the first day of my senior year at Providence College in Rhode Island. I’ve spent the last 7 weeks in New Hampshire working out of our Lincoln studio and enjoyed every second of it.
Climbing for Clean Air
Christina Cozzens started off like many who catch the hiking bug in the White Mountains. The New Hampshire native wasn’t an experienced hiker at first, but she steadily built up her skills and confidence as she tackled the White Mountains 4,000-footers. Once she finished the full list of 48, she took on an even greater challenge, traveling west to summit California’s Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States.
A Tribute to Dad
It all started 46 years ago this July, when Burgeon Outdoor founder Rudy Glocker hiked Mt. Washington with his father for the first time. Rudy’s father, Karl Glocker, led the family up Washington from the Ammonoosuc Ravine trailhead. The elder Glocker had hiked New England’s tallest peak many times before, and he was eager to give his children their own formative experience in the White Mountains.
