A 19 year old just died hiking in the White Mountains two weeks ago. Even with the warmer weather, I really wouldn’t recommend it this time of year.

> The White Mountains are infamous for deceptive conditions that have lured scores of hikers to their death in the past century. Although they are relatively short by the standards of many mountain ranges, their location at the confluence of continental weather patterns means that conditions can change quickly, taking hikers from pleasant conditions in a parking lot to near-Arctic gales after just a few hours of uphill work.
