Summary

Our Pride Hike offers excellent views from near-summit ledges with a fun social mixer to follow back at our house with swimming/sunbathing in the Mad River and a BBQ!

Celebrate Gay Pride with Mike and Jon on this 3.6 mile hike with 1,250 feet elevation gain up Mt. Pemigewasset [2,557 ft.]. We will distribute rainbow flags at the trailhead to stick outside of our packs as we hike for equality!

Mt. Pemigewasset is a very popular hike in the Franconia Notch region, and for good reason. It’s near summit ledges offer excellent views.

Don't forget to bring wind/rain shell, water, lunch, snacks, bug repellent, sunscreen, etc. along with whatever you typically have for a hiking excursion. We’ll have lunch on at the summit.

Social Mixer: Following the hike, everyone is welcome back at our house in Waterville Valley to hang out for a couple hours alongside the Mad River for swimming/sunbathing, socialize around the deck and enjoy a BBQ! It's BYOB and it costs $10 per person. Bring your swim trunks/towel. We have to cross the shallow Mad River to reach our sandy beach so bring sandals or old sneakers; flip flops will not work.

Lodging Option: Bunk beds are available at our house near Waterville Valley, NH for Friday and Saturday night for with proof of vaccination. Its $25 dollars Friday night and $35 Saturday that includes BBQ. Coffee/bagels each morning and linen/blankets/towels are provided. Limited to four so email us ASAP to reserve a bunk!
