>>270379As I said before, I know several people died this last year in the Whites and the Mahoosics. So yes. it is dangerous.
I stopped hiking in Maine because with the weather and the terrain I knew it was stupid to hike on alone.
This trail sign
>>270325 was posted on a mountain in the Whites that wasn't that bad for me, even with my issue with heights, but with the right weather and with the right group of people....I am sure there could be disaster,
Over time, people who were tired, unskilled, or distracted have died in these locations... so there are signs...
You have to keep your wits and be careful.
