Stay safe
One should be aware of basic wilderness survival skills when outdoors due to the exceptionally harsh nature of the area's climate and lack of civilization. Read the safety section of the White Mountain National Forest guide for more information. Also, moose and deer on roads can cause accidents, with the latter sometimes fatal.
Crime is not an issue in the White Mountains; it's virtually non-existent.
