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.

Nice stop at mountain lakes

Lake Francis is a 2,000-acre lake right off the side of the highway. There are a bunch of different areas around the lake that can give you access to the water, and this pull-off is as good of an overlook as any. Another popular spot for viewing the lake is from the Murphy Dam end of the reservoir.

Christine Lake is a nearly 200-acre reservoir in Coos County at the foot of the Kauffmann Forest. It's not too far of a ride from town, and it has a pretty sweet mountain backdrop.
