Rather than attempt to keep an up to date archive of stories on hiking accidents in the White Mountains of New Hampshire I will give a set of resources that should help you find information as soon as it is available on the net.
- An excellent source of information is Google News, here is a
link to a search for hiker accident OR death "new hampshire" OR
"white mountains".
You can also get news alerts from Google News, a mechanism that some people find very useful.
- The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department
newsroom
is the source of authoritative reports.
- New Hampshire media sources include
WMUR news, the
Concord
Monitor and the
Union Leader Outdoors section.
- Sometimes news of accidents in the White Mountains first shows
up on the boston.com news
section.
- Once the news is on the net is is quickly discussed on the
major New England hiking bulletin boards:
AMC BBs,
the Views from the
Top forums and the
AlpineZone
forums.
- A good way of avoiding being the victim of an accident is to carefully study the web site of the hikeSafe Initiative, a joint initiative of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and of the White Mountain National Forest.
