Memorial Day Weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire!

Let's explore the epic White Mountains area in New Hampshire!

What: Hiking, cycling, kayaking, exploring waterfalls, relaxing in nature, or whatever you want. People will be doing different day hikes, and then we'll all meet back at the campsite afterwards. Other things to explore in the area include Flume Gorge, Mount Washington Cog Railway, Cannon Mountain Tramway, Kancamagus Scenic Byway: https://www.visit-newhampshire.com/whitemountains/70-great-things-to-do-in-new-hampshire/

When: 3 nights over Memorial Day Weekend, Friday, May 23-Monday, May 26 (I have the group campsite "Safari Field" reserved, which fits up to about 30 people spread out)

Cost: $12 per person per night, so $36 for all 3 nights (note, the website has not been updated - it's $12 pp per night for Safari Field).

How to get there:
Carpool spreadsheet - Please add your name if you are willing and able to drive and bring others, or if you need a ride. We will confirm carpools closer to the date: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mVCssvdc2XtjGMp9vHJ7AHqj-QMEXhh4/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=100781040411068018743&rtpof=true&sd=true
*Please note, it is a 6.5-9 hour drive from NYC, especially on a holiday weekend with traffic, so plan accordingly.

What to know: Everyone is responsible for their bringing their own tent, etc. and for their own meals. There are grills and a campfire pit for cooking, grocery stores in the area, or restaurants within walking a mile walk if you prefer.
