ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Program intended for grandchildren from 9 - 12 years of age.

At 6,288 feet, Mount Washington offers breathtaking views of the surrounding White Mountain National Forest — and it’s a perfect place to share a hiking adventure with your grandchild! Led by experts from the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), discover the ecology and natural history of the region as you hike along well-groomed trails, explore rivers for aquatic critters and learn how to spot and track the mammals that inhabit the forest.


Highlights

• Hike up Mount Washington and board the Cog Railroad for a ride down the mountain, then explore the workshop where they custom-build the train cars.
• Meet the staff of the Mount Washington Observatory as you explore this mountaintop weather station and learn about their research.
• Spot wildlife as you join AMC staff for a canoe trip along the Androscoggin River.

Activity Notes

Hiking 1-2 miles per day; canoeing; elevations of 5,000-6,300 feet.

Coordinated by Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC).
