This overnight trip is the perfect way to get a taste of backpacking in the White Mountains and climbing one of the 4,000 footers, or to kickstart your NH 4000 Footers 48. A challenging 13.3 mile loop will bring our group to the summit of Mount Garfield and along a short stretch of the famed Appalachian Trail. For a look at the elevation profile for this trip click here.
