Memorial Day Weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire!

Details

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.

Contact: Alyssa cell 347-804-8336
I will also start a WhatsApp chat closer to the trip date to organize hikes, etc.

What to Bring (required!):

  • Tent
  • Sleeping bag & airmat for warmth
  • Food for cooking & matches to light fire
  • Snacks for hiking
  • Headlamp or flashlight
  • Rain jacket
  • Layers - it gets cold at night in the mountains
  • Reusable water bottle
  • Mess kit for eating (reusable plate or bowl, silverware, cup)
  • Please do not bring disposable dishes, etc. - let's be mindful of the environment and keep trash to a minimum
  • Hiking: hiking pack/backpack, hiking shoes, headlamp, emergency whistle, map & compass, first aid kit, warm layers, rain gear, plenty of food, plenty of water, head net recommended (black flies can be unbearable this time of year in NH): https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/ten-essentials.html
