Frank Sorbero, Jr., Leader

This trip is a great introduction for those who have never been to the White Mountains and/or stayed in an AMC hut.  For over a century, the AMC Hut System has been well known for its  mountain hospitality.  We will stay at Pinkham Notch Visitor Center the first night, then shuttle to Crawford Notch on the next day where we will begin our hike to different AMC huts finishing on Route 2 in Appalachia.  The Presidential Range and a section of the A-T are just some of the activities on this exciting traverse.  Climb higher and closer to Mount Washington each day through beautiful woods, waterfalls, summits and overlooks with ever changing great views.  We will be doing short day hikes from the huts on our layover day.  We will hike over rough and often steep trails with over 5000 feet of elevation gain.  Each person carries their own gear to include: well broken-in boots, sufficient pack, and light weight winter wear for higher elevations.  Hikers must be able to hike several miles with a pack with a weight limit of 30 lb. over varied, strenuous terrain with varied elevation gains and weather conditions.

Trip limited to twelve hikers.  Trip cost is $600 and includes transportation to trailheads, lodging, breakfasts and dinners at all AMC facilities. A deposit of $300 ($100 non-refundable) is required to hold space.  No spaces held without a deposit.  For more information, contact Frank G. Sorbero Jr., 7 McClellan Ave., Amsterdam, NY 12010-3424.
