Which AMC Huts have you been to?

Charlie Schuessler · Jul 2, 2006, 7:34 AM

We’ve stopped and snacked a number of times at:
Lonesome Lake Hut
Greenleaf Hut
Lakes of the Clouds Hut
Mizpah Spring Hut
Zealand Falls Hut

And we’ve stayed at least once at:
Greenleaf Hut
Joe Dodge Lodge
Lakes of the Clouds Hut
Lonesome Lake Hut

There is nothing as good as a bowl of tasty soup on a cold misty day in the Whites

I believe the AMC Staff & Croo's do a great job with these facilities.

Been TO all of them, but never been INSIDE Madison since it was closed both times I was there.

I've been to all of them, having stayed at Carter Notch, Lakes (in the Dungeon once or twice, and upstairs once), and a work-for-stay at the old Galehead.

They are all so different and have plusses and minuses, but if I had to summer at just one, I would choose Madison Hut. The day-hiking possibilities from there are nearly endless!

I've been to all of them too, some multiple times. However I never stayed in any of them.

I've been to all of them, some multiple times. I'm hoping to get my 4 y/o up to Lonesome to get some views of the mountains at the end of the summer.

I've stayed at:
Lakes of the Clouds
Greenleaf
Galehead
Carter Notch

Also stayed at the RMC's Crag Camp (before the rebuild) and Gray Knob (after the rebuild).

4 stayed at 2. Lakes is the best IMO.

I've been to all of them and never stayed the night in a hut. Oddly, all the years I've been hiking, it wasn't until last year that I first went inside Mizpah Hut. All are my favorites and are in great locations, especially Lakes being about the center of a Presi traverse.

Stayed at Greenleaf and Galehead. Stopped in at Mizpah Spring on a dayhike.
