    Hermit Lake is an alpine lake at the base of the iconic Tuckerman's Ravine bowl. There are shelters around the lake, bathroom facilites (flush toilets in the summer, vault in the fall, winter, and spring) and a caretaker's hut. The Hermit Lake shelters are the only legal campsite on the eastern slopes of Mt. Washington and require reservations. The caretakers's hut is a great resource for hikers, mountaineers and skiers; it is staffed year-round and you can get up to date weather forecasts, avalanche reports (in the winter and spring), and there is also hiker register available for you to sign. You can also buy emergency supplies and 10 Essentials here.
