Summary

HIKE CHANGED TO Sat Aug 16. Join GO for a hike up the iconic Ammonoosuc Ravine trail up to the summit of Mt Washington. We will ascend about 3800 ft to the summit. On route, we will stop at the Lake of the Clouds Hut. After lunch at the Mt. Washington State Park Cafeteria, we will descend along the Cog Railway path. We will be hiking at a relaxed moderate pace and take breaks to enjoy the amazing views. The hike is about 7 miles long & will take about 8 hours. Hikers are welcome to stay/camp out at my house near Franconia on Friday or Saturday night if desired.

Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot

Carpool from my house at 730AM to the trailhead or meet at the Cog Railway hiker parking lot at 8AM. Please email for directions to the house.

Not able to make this one either. Hope you all have a great time

Rob Bonney Posted Jun 4, 2025 at 1:50 PM

I can't make Sunday either, bummer!

Carl Posted Jun 4, 2025 at 9:16 AM

I can't make Sunday, unfortunately. Have fun everyone!

Twigs Posted Jun 4, 2025 at 9:08 AM

Thanks for the update. I wish you all to have fun as I'll be dropping off the hike.

Bobcat Posted Jun 4, 2025 at 9:01 AM

I decided to switch the hike to Sunday because Saturday will be rainy. On Sunday the weather should be much better. I will send out the Mt. Washington forecast on Friday evening so you can be prepared. Hikers are welcome to stay overnight on Saturday night at my house in Sugar Hill NH if desired. We can do a Potluck or Pizza Saturday eve. Please take yourself off the hike if you cannot do the hike on Sunday.
