Join us for Mt. Eisenhower for Flags of the 48 to remember 9/11. We will be carrying an American flag and placing at the summit of Mt. Eisenhower from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. If we are lucky enough to have good views, we should be able to see flags at some of the other peaks.

Mount Eisenhower is one of New Hampshire's 4000-footers and has only Mt. Monroe between it and Mt. Washington in the Presidential Range. It is the 12th highest of the NH 4000-footers at 4760 feet. It is a bald summit with 360 degree views of the southern Presidentials including Mt. Washington. This hike will follow the Edmand's Path for most of the hike with small stretches on the Mt. Eisenhower Loop trail and the Crawford Path [then return by Edmand's Path]. Most of the path is a very gradual climb but be aware that the final section [.2 miles] of the Edmand's Path and above are completely exposed the elements.

We will meet at the Edmand's Path trailhead on Mt. Clinton Road. Parking is $3.

Trailhead Parking: From I-93 in NH, take exit 35 to Rt. 3 North to Twin Mountain. After about 10 miles [traffic light], turn right onto Rt. 302. Travel about 8 miles, then turn left onto Mt. Clinton Road. The entrance to Mt. Clinton Road is just below the AMC Highland Center, across Rt. 302. [If you reach or go past the AMC Highland Center on your right, turn around.] The Edmands Path trailhead and parking lot will be on your right, about 2.3 miles from Rt. 302.

There are 8 bunks available with linen for both Friday and Saturday night at their house in Waterville Valley for $20 each night. There are also tent platforms available. You can use the kitchen facilities and store beverages/food in the fridge. Contact Mark and I to RSVP. SPACE IS LIMITED TO EIGHT GUYS.
