September 2012 White Mountains New Hampshire

11 vigorous hikers and a fully-qualified representative of the Northern Virginia Wednesday Hikers descended on the White Mts. over the course of a week to sample many of the classic day hikes the region has to offer and/or (in the case of 3 of our number) to knock off another section of the northern New England Appalachian Trail.

Most of us split our base camps evenly between Joe Dodge Lodge in Pinkham Notch first and the Highland Center Bunkhouse in Crawford Notch later. Over the course of the week we initiated hikes into the back country on both sides of the base camp notches as well as both sides of Franconia Notch. The weather was mostly excellent with spectacular days up Huntington Ravine to Mt. Washington and exploring the northern Presidentials and traversing the famous Franconia Ridge.
