About the Event
You will not want to miss this overnight with PeaksandPoses. We’ll be spending Saturday night above the tree line at Lake of the Clouds hut. This is the Appalachian Mountain Club’s (AMC) highest and most visited hut. Our hike up the Ammonoosuc Ravine trail will land us just 1.5 miles from Mount Washington with an extraordinary view of the eastern slope of the tallest mountain in New Hampshire!!! We are also .4 miles below Mount Monroe another spectacular mountain along the Presidential range.
While our hike is short (3.1 miles to the hut), there are sections that are steep. This trail is rated difficult due to the rocks, tree roots, steepness, and possible wetness. The trail starts off flat out of the parking lot for a mile or so and then gains elevation and crosses over some small water crossings.
If you have any questions about your hiking ability, PLEASE…
