About this challenge

Hiking the “Presi” may be demanding, but the rewards are bountiful. Enjoy uninterrupted miles above treeline and the opportunity to summit five peaks on the New Hampshire Four Thousand Footers list, including the AMC region’s highest, Mount Washington. Along the way stay at the Appalachian Mountain Club’s conveniently spaced High Mountain Huts. Experience rugged wilderness by day, then a bed and a homecooked meal from the famed Hut “Croos” by night.
