Friday night will be at Madison Springs Hut, located in the col between Mt Madison and Mt Adams. Saturday night will be spent at Lakes of the Clouds Hut located between Mt Washington and Mt Monroe. We will hike roughly 7 miles each day.
Ascending Mt Madison and Mt. Washington are definite. We have a choice of summiting Mt Adams, Mt Jefferson and Mt Clay (peak bagging), or following the Appalachian Trail around each of the summits. Likewise on Sunday, we can bypass Mt Monroe is so desired. Mt. Eisenhower and Mt. Pierce are definite.
