    Transportation Advise - Presidential Traverse (White Mountains, NH)

    My buddy and I are going to hike the Presidential Traverse (Madison to Jackson) in mid-August. We are driving together from Michigan so we'll only have one vehicle. We will need transportation from the Mt. Jackson end where we are going to leave our car to the start near the Mt. Madison.

    Does anyone have names of transportation companies, hiker hostels that provide that service or other such services?

    I am capable of doing my own research but I figured it would be quicker and more accurate to get that information from people who are very familiar with the local area or people who may have current info from their own very recent experiences.

    I don't have an answer for you, other than recommending checking out the FB group "Hike the 4000 footers of NH!" I know that they have talked about using such services. The AMC also has a shuttle service, but I don't know the details.

    I had considered using this service last fall for an end to end on the Kilkenny traverse but ended up not needing it due to having 2 cars available. I don't know much more about them, but it had turned it up in my research.

    Thank you. I will keep this option in mind as we continue planning this trip. Although, I must say it is a bit more daunting than I had anticipated due to the lack of camping options along the way. I never anticipated the major camping areas were closer to the start and end of the Traverse or that it would require reservations in order to assure us a space at those huts (AMC and RMC).... ugh!!
