hiking guide

[mathieu]

Hi ,

Which hiking guide would you recommend for a first hike on mount washington ? I looked on Mount Washington and the Presidential Range Trail Guide and it seems to be a nice hiking guide. The trip is planned on the second week of october. We would also like to spend a night or two on the mountain, possible or not ? and finally, at this time of the year, will we need winter clothes at the summit or a softshell with insulated shirt will do it ?

Thanks for your advices
