Join us for this fall hike to Lonesome Lake Hut.   The whole hike is just over 6 miles with about 1200 feet of elevation gain.    We will hike up the Basin-Cascades trail and Cascade Brook trail past cascades and waterfalls to the Lonesome Lake hut, where we will have lunch inside.   There is a stream crossing on the Basin-Cascades trail that can be difficult in high water, but it should be not a problem this time of year.   The hut will be in self service mode, so pack your own lunch.      We will then descend the more popular Lonesome Lake trail to Lafayette campground, and then take the Pemi trail back to the Basin parking lot where we're parked.

 We will start out at the Basin parking lot at 10.  Note this will be the side of the parking lot you would be on if you exit from Franconia Notch Parkway (I-93) coming from the south (going northbound on I-93), and it would be the lower level of the parking lot.  If you’re coming from north I-93 (going southbound on I-93), just cross under the tunnel to the other side of the parking lot.   We will be driving a green Honda Civic.  Our car has a GO bumper sticker on it, and both of us will be wearing green GO t-shirts.      If anyone is interested, we could carpool at 9:15 from the Hannaford parking lot in Plymouth (take exit 26, Rt 25, Tenney Mountain Highway a mile or two west and Hannaford is on the left).      Unless I hear that anybody is interested in this, we will just meet at the trailhead at 10 am.
