Join Don and myself as we hike to the Lonesome Lake Hut. This is a great spring warm up hike. The hike is about 3 1/2 miles with 1000 feet of elevation gain.  The trip starts out hiking through the Lafayette Place campground and follows the Lonesome Lake Trail up to Lonesome Lake. The trip distance may be short but it packs a steady incline up to the lake.  When the trail reaches Lonesome Lake there is a series of planks that lead to Lonesome Lake Hut. The hike provides great views of Franconia Ridge peaks on the east side of the notch.  We plan on having lunch at the hut.   Dress appropriately for spring weather in the Whites: shorts or convertible hiking pants, and a windbreaker/raingear (just in case).  Also bring along lunch, snacks water and sunscreen. Please no dogs on this hike.

Layafette Place Campground parking lot is on the southbound side of I-93, between Lincoln NH and Cannon Mt. ski center.  If traveling I-93 northbound, there is a turnaround spot at the Cannon Mt tramway exit to get you to I-93 south.  We will meet on the left side of the parking lot.  Look for our green Mini Copper.
