アパラチア山脈の山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

Beautiful overnight accommodation in the heart of nature. There are 20 bedrooms with bunk beds and a mattress for children. Dinner and breakfast are eaten together. On a guided tour of the house, you'll learn about the building's history, the Japanese-inspired architecture, the environmental awards (e.g., about the composting system with worms), the connection to Len Foote, and the observation deck with astronomical art. After dinner, you can enjoy the game room or attend a lecture. The warm showers are very pleasant after the strenuous climb. It's a shame there are no facilities for day visitors. Lunch packs are available for overnight guests. https://hike-inn.com/ The moderate, five-mile trail starting from the top of Amicalola Falls is among the most popular mountain trails in the North Georgia Blue Ridge. And one of its most beautiful and diverse. The two-to-four hour hike crosses small streams, traverses scenic ridges and ambles through stands of mountain laurel and rhododendron. Backpacker magazine included our trail as one of 36 “Best American Hikes” and our Inn is included on National Geographic Traveler’s “Stay List.”

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.

Small shelter at Mount Greylock below the monument there

Nice stop at mountain lakes

Nice place to stay overnight in the middle of the forest! You have to hike there - it's just under 5 miles from the parking lot (uphill, downhill and over streams)!

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 Bascom Lodge was built in the 1930s at the summit of Mount Greylock. It was managed by the Appalachian Mountain Club for 16 years until 2000 when it came under private ownership. Today you can book a room at the summit of Massachusetts' highest mountain, or if you don't wish to spend the night, you can still enjoy this historic lodge at the cafe, where you can purchase drinks and snacks.
