Good less technical hike in Presidentials, NH?
Hoping to take my Dad who just turned 65 for a hike in the Presidentials, would be cool were it be a 4,000'er, but he's got a weak knee so hoping to find recommendations for peaks that are relatively easy from a technical perspective and don't have massive steps or boulder fields. Been a long time since I've hiked in the area so really have no idea anymore!

The Crawford Path from Crawford Notch - ascends and ridge runs along the gentle 4,000' Southern Pressies.

Thanks gang. Stoked dad opted for the Crawford path to Eisenhower. Been so long since I've done any hiking up there, stoked it'll all be basically new!

I used to hike the Whites through my childhood and haven't been back in 25 years...would be cool to go back. Have fun!

Get a set of hiking poles. Does wonders for the descent with bad knees. It's good for the up too, but depending on fitness, it is also more of a workout I guess.

Checkout some of the water falls, Arethusa, the falls on the lower North side of Mt Adams, etc. I've had a good time with my parents hitting multiple smaller hikes in the same day rather than 1 big one.
