I am booked FOUR large group sites! We can have over 150 people! We will be hiking both Saturday and Sunday.

I will have a bunch of beginner hiking options that include 3-5 mile hikes to some of the best views and waterfalls that the whites have to offer.

NOTE: You do not need to hike to join in on the camping fun!

There are many hiking options, local short hike with wonderful views and waterfalls if you don't want to climb the big ones :)

Whatever your experience and memories walking among the Adirondacks, Catskills, Green Mountains, the Berkshires and others ... I dare you to find mountains more glorious and more dramatic that New Hampshire's White Mountains, where my greatest hiking memories remain with me still.

Sorry, but you can't call yourself a mountain climber if you've not walked up to these magnificent peaks! Please mark your calendar and plan to join our group to what I daresay will be for you the most wonderful hiking experience of your life! Plan ahead -- get yourself in shape! -- and prepare to climb the highest -- six of the GREATEST -- of the highest peaks of the Great Northeast!

Camping Information:
