Join AMC Outdoor Guides on this Guided Adventure to Carter Notch. Our trip begins with an orientation session and overnight at AMC's full-service Joe Dodge Lodge in Pinkham Notch before we strap on our snowshoes and trek to AMC's backcountry hut in Carter Notch on Saturday morning. Exploring the forest, listen for winter birds and investigating animal tracks along the way give us ample opportunity to experience Carter Notch area in winter. One night is spent at the hut preparing a group dinner, checking out the winter sky at night and learning about winter ecology in the White Mountains. The terrain is moderate with some steep sections on this 3.8 mile climb to the hut. Winter Lodge to Hut trips are designed for the experienced 3 season hiker looking to venture into the world of winter. Participants must be comfortable carrying a pack over moderate terrain and sometimes steep terrain. Our planned mode of travel is on snowshoes or trail crampons (they can be borrowed from AMC if needed), but please keep in mind that conditions can be variable. Participants must be willing/able to carry all personal gear including sleeping bag and group food for 3.8 miles to and from Carter Notch Hut. Hut accommodations are rustic with wood stove heat for the common space and cooking facilities. Bunk rooms are not heated.
