Have any of you ever hiked/explored the area of the White Mts called Pellisier Flats? I haven't...yet. But it's a feature I've considered/admired/yearned for (
) on topo maps and in distant views from the west and east below -- ever since my first visit to the Whites years ago.
It's between 12,000 - 13,000 feet high -- a relatively flat area that starts about 7 miles north of White Mt Peak (which is already several miles north of the end of the road/locked gate), so it's pretty remote. I guess I could also get there from below, on the west or east...just 8000 feet uphill.
Something about a flat area (relatively speaking) that's way high seems cool to me, for some reason...not sure why....there's a fantastic view, of course...seems like it might be a wild place to backpack to and camp for a couple of nights. Wander around...etc.
So, anyone know anything about this area?
