Join us on an unforgettable 3-day backpacking adventure in the White Mountains! In this video, I’ll take you through our whole trip to the  Lakes of the Clouds, the challenging yet rewarding summit of Mount Washington, and the stunning views from Mount Monroe.

Our group, with a range of ages and experience levels, set out from the Ammonoosuc Ravine trailhead. We navigated through woods, crossed streams, and scrambled up rocky terrains. Despite the varying levels of experience and even overcoming bronchitis, our group bonded and supported each other throughout the trip.

We reached the magical Lakes of the Clouds Hut, where the fog and rugged terrain made every moment feel like a scene from a fantasy novel. The hut provided us with a cozy night’s rest and a delicious breakfast, setting us up for our next challenge: summiting Mount Washington.

The climb to Mount Washington was a short but exhilarating trek through exposed alpine zones and powerful winds. Despite the famous unpredictable weather, we reached the summit and marveled at the scene at the top.

On our descent, we took the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, passing by Tuckerman Ravine with its iconic skiing history, before circling back to the hut. That afternoon, we walked up Mount Monroe, where we were blessed with clear skies and breathtaking vistas.

Throughout this trip, we experienced everything from dense fog to sudden clear skies, strengthening our appreciation for the rugged beauty of the White Mountains. Our journey concluded with a refreshing dip in a crystal-clear mountain pool, the perfect end to an incredible trip.
