The Franconia ridge is one of the most iconic hikes of the Whites, with amazing views on both sides, and 2 miles of really fun above treeline exposed terrain!
The hike is a 9 mile loop with about 4000ft in elevation gain. Full skin coverage is required for the above treeline section: goggles, balaclava, warm gloves, etc.
There will be a mandatory zoom pretrip meeting Thursday 12/1 at 9pm!
If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, edit the “Lottery preferences” on your MITOC profile to show this.
