A hike along the top rim of Tuckerman's Ravine with unsurpassed views of Tuckerman Ravine and the Mt. Washington Valley. We will hike up one of Mt. Washington's sub-peaks: Boot Spur [5,492']. The climb up Boott Spur is magnificent with great views of Tuckerman, the Wildcats, Carter-Moriah Range and southern Presidentials. Total distance is 7.8 miles, 3300 feet elevation gain and will take 7.5 hours.

We will start at Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, climb the Boott Spur Trail which ascends 3,500 feet in 2.5 miles and forms the southern wall of Tuckerman's Ravine. From there we'll head north on the Davis Path to follow the top rim of Tuckerman Ravine until we reach Tuckerman Junction when we will be descending using the Tuckerman Ravine Trail which leads back to the Pinkham Notch lot.

We will be travelling above treeline in September so winter like conditions this time of year can occur so be prepared! Travel above treeline offers unique challenges to any hiker. Please have the appropriate gear/clothing to travel above treeline this time of year and the appropriate amount of layers to keep your core body warm. We recommend hiking boots, wool hat, gloves, NO COTTON. Carry at least 2 liters of water, lunch and snacks.

After The Hike: We'll have dinner at the Red Fox Grill in Jackson, NH. 

Lodging Option: Bunk beds are available at our house near Waterville Valley, NH for Friday and/or Saturday night for $25 per night. Coffee/bagels each morning and linen/blankets/towels are provided. We have limited space in the fridge to store your beverages/food so it's best to bring a small cooler. Space is limited so email me ASAP to reserve a bunk!

From North Conway, follow NH 16 through the towns of Glen and Jackson. Park at the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, 11.7 miles north of the junction of US 302 and NH 16 in Glen. We'll meet you at the porch of the Visitor Center.
