Lonesome Lake Hut Weekend
Date: Friday, November 1 - Sunday, November 3
Here's your chance to stay at Lonesome Lake Hut with breathtaking views of Franconia Ridge across a pristine glacial lake! This is the most accessible hut in the White Mountains at just 1.6 miles from the trailhead. This hut offers access to nearby mountains such as Cannon, North & South Kinsman as well as lakeside hiking trails. There is often some snow and ice in November in the White Mountains so you should have hiking experience in cold weather and microspikes or similar boot traction (we may have extra spikes to lend). Please Note: bunkrooms are unheated. At least a 20-degree sleeping bag or warmer, appropriate layers to keep warm and nalgene or similar water bottles and insulators recommended. We'll have a potluck burrito dinner Saturday night (all other meals/snack are on your own).
