July 28-July 30th,2023
Take your time on this two day trip along the oldest trail in the United States. Traverse the presidential range & fall in love with the Whites like never before.
On day one we will meet at the trailhead and begin our ascent to the alpine zone. The Lakes of the clouds hut is nestled a little over a mile beneath historic Mount Washington and this is where we will be spending our first night on the trail. After traveling up the Ammonoosuc Ravine trail to the hut on Friday, there will be an option to drop your bags and peak to Mount Washington if the respectful time allows. Then dinner will commence free time is yours. Meditation will be offered in the evening.
Day Two’s travels will begin after the hut serves us breakfast and we will take the Crawford Path across to our stay in the forest at Mizpah hut. There are a few options to get there with an opportunity to peak Mount Eisenhower and Pierce. The decision will be made depending on timing, weather and Dom and Erika’s final call based on group and risk management at the time. Once we arrive at the hut there is time to restore and rest after a long day on the ridge and dinner will be served. Mizpah is where we will host our yoga class before getting back on trail. A journaling session will be offered in the evening.
Our final day will consist of breakfast, stretching and meditation before hitting the trail and then taking the Crawford Path all the way back to the valley where you will be shuttled back to your vehicles.
Please note: 2 part payment plans are available upon request
