Isn't the climate zone on top of Mount Washington considered arctic? People die in the White Mountains, in general, for the same reasons. It's a surprisingly dangerous mountain range, more so than the rockies. Nobody says to themselves, we'll dayhike the Rockies, but too many underestimate the Whites.

That’s a good question! I don’t know the answer. I was hiking the whites for a week and they truly seem like a different beast than the greens. I left Vermont in shorts and a t shirt, got to Crawford notch and i realized pretty immediately I should’ve brought warmer clothes! Worth a trip over to check it out. The cog railway is a pretty neat engineering feat if you don’t wanna hike Washington.
