I would absolutely hike 48 peaks to get a patch and a dinner .

I believe it's one of those things where if you're doing it, you end up finding a great local community and naturally have something to talk about with each other. Just be safe! There's lots of news right now about inexperienced solo hikers taking on more than they could handle.

Even experienced hikers get into trouble because the weather systems in the whites can be extremely unpredictable at times.

Just make sure you take the Whites seriously. Too many people don’t respect them and even when you do the conditions can change quickly and things can get a bit sketchy. Amazing up there though. Easily my favorite place on this planet.
