​​Difficulty: ◉◉◉◉◎

View Availability & Book Online

The rugged, rocky terrain with steep slopes, long ascents and sections of rock scrambling, make the views hard earned and the payoff that much more rewarding. It's not uncommon for the peaks to be in and sometimes even above the clouds, and the region is known for its extreme weather. We'll be traversing miles above tree-line, with plenty of opportunities to score some spectacular 360 degree views if the weather is clear.

Day 1
4:00pm Meet at Ski Shop or Air BnB near Lincoln, NH Introductions, gear organization, family style dinner.

Day 2
6:00am Breakfast and drive to trailhead
7:30am Big climb up and over our first two 4,000 footers. We'll hike about 7 miles before settling into our first campsite.

Day 3
After breakfast and coffee in camp, we'll regain the ridge and follow the Appalachian Trail to the famous Franconia Ridge - a long exposed section of trail with sweeping views in every direction. We'll hike about 7.5 miles today as we climb up and over 4 more 4000ers.

Day 4
We'll continue along the Appalachian Trail over two more prominent peaks with spectacular views if the weather is clear. It's about 6.5 miles to the next campsite, so we'll plan to arrive in camp a little early to get a good tent site and give our legs a bit of a rest.

*The alpine zone does not have trees to provide protection from the weather, so extra precautions must be taken when traveling above treeline. Weather can change very quickly in the mountains, especially at higher elevations. If the weather or visibility is poor, your guide may suggest an alternate route, and depending on the weather forecast, we may opt to complete the same route in reverse.
