Join us for a hike to Mount Washington and Mount Monroe! That’s the tallest point in New Hampshire, in case you didn’t know. It will be a beautiful hike. We’ll be able to see how the vegetation changes as we go through different elevations, and we’ll be spending quite a bit of time above treeline. We’ll also stop in at an AMC hut up there for a quick break before we hike up Monroe!

The route is here. This will be a 9.5 mile hike with 4300ft of elevation gain. There will be some very steep and strenuous portions. We'll aim to be relatively efficient since it’s a lot of hiking. Also, don't be fooled by the title. Bring layers! It may be summer, but it'll be 50⁰F or less up there.
