Galehead Hut is one of the more remote Appalachian Mountain Club huts in the White Mountains, perched at 3,800 feet between Mount Garfield and South Twin. Accessible via several trails—including the Garfield Ridge Trail and Twinway—it’s a popular overnight option for hikers tackling long routes like the Pemi Loop or Appalachian Trail section hikes. The hut offers meals, filtered water, composting toilets, and bunk accommodations during the full-service season (typically June through mid-September), and transitions to self-service in the shoulder seasons. From the hut, it’s a short, steep climb to the summit of Galehead Mountain, a wooded 4,000-footer, and a longer, tougher ascent to South Twin, which offers some of the best views in the area. While it’s a solid place to rest or refill on water mid-hike, Galehead is also a great base for exploring more remote corners of the Pemigewasset Wilderness without the crowds found on Franconia Ridge.

Lake of the Clouds Hut is the highest and one of the most iconic of the AMC’s backcountry huts. Perched at 5,012 feet between Mount Monroe and Mount Washington, it offers stunning alpine views, dramatic sunsets, and a front-row seat to the Presidential Range’s famously unpredictable weather. It's a great place to stop and refill water bottles or shelter from the weather on a day hike or an iconic (and popular!) place to spend the night. The hut is full-service during the summer and early fall, with bunk accommodations, family-style dinner and breakfast, potable water, and composting toilets. It sleeps over 90 hikers and is a popular overnight stop for those tackling the Presidential Traverse. Reservations are essential and fill quickly.

​The Max Israel Shelter is a three-sided Adirondack-style shelter located along the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway (MSG) in southwestern New Hampshire. Situated approximately 37 miles north of Mount Monadnock's summit and about 13 miles south of Mount Sunapee, it serves as a convenient overnight spot for hikers on the 48-mile trail. Nestled within a stand of red spruce trees, the shelter accommodates 4-5 people, with additional space nearby for tent camping. Water can be sourced from a small brook located approximately 0.2 miles before reaching the shelter when approaching from the south. ​

Nestled in the White Mountain National Forest, the Mizpah Spring Hut is a cozy stop for hikers exploring the Presidential Range. Offering bunk accommodations, hearty meals, and potable water, it’s a great place to rest and recharge while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Whether you're tackling a challenging trail or looking for a serene overnight retreat, this Appalachian Mountain Club hut is a memorable part of any White Mountains adventure.

Nice stop at mountain lakes

From this view you can clearly see the lakes and this hut. Lake of the Clouds is one of the most visited destinations in the area. Above the treeline, it often seems that the clouds are sitting on top of the water.

The Zealand Hut is a year round shelter for hikers high in the Pemigewasset Wilderness. It is a great place for a break during a run as it has a restroom, a small waterfall and there are great views of the valley.

The Zealand Falls Hut is managed by the AMC and is one of the few huts that is open year-round. Located just 50 feet from the namesake falls, the Zealand Falls hut is perched high on the cliffs and offers amazing views over the Lincoln Woods Area and into the Pemigewasset Wilderness. This hut runs off of hydroelectric power generated by the falls and is a great destination for families or newer backpackers due to the relatively moderate trail to the hut. It's a great spot for day hikers to stop as well to use the bathroom, admire the falls, and take in the views from this historic hut.
