Which AMC Huts have you been to?

Not necessarily stayed at, but which have you been to?

I've visited

Lonesome Lake Hut
Greenleaf Hut
Galehead Hut
Mizpah Spring Hut
Lakes of the Clouds Hut
Madison Spring Hut

So Zealand and Carter Notch are on the to-do lists.

I've stayed at during regular season:
LOC
Madison
Galehead (old)
Greenleaf

Caretaker Season
Galehead (old)
Greenleaf more than once
Zealand more than once

The others I've been to more than once, except for Carter Notch, I've just been in once.

Mizpah is probably the one I have not stayed in yet that I'd like to at some point.

Madison would be my favorite.

All of them. Lonesome is the only one I haven't spent the night at.

I had friends who worked in the huts for many years, so I usually slept in the croo quarters and helped cook, but I've been a guest in most of them in recent years. I'm pretty sure I've packed ice cream into all the huts at least once.

I moved off the Dartmouth servers (where I'd been for 11 years) last year. Nice to have my own home.

I've been to all of them and stayed at all but Lonesome Lake.

My favorite hut would be Greenleaf. The view you get while eating is 5-star. My hiking party scored the whole place to ourselves for a night last September.

Least favorite: Lakes of the Clouds. Stayed there twice and had a full house of champion snorers both times.

Tip: at most huts, don't sit straight up when you awaken. That upper bunk is sometimes closer than you think.

only been in carter notch and Pinkham although I'm be past Greenleaf and Madison Springs. Catyer notch is pretty cool in the valley and with the lakes right there. Nevr stayed at one though.
