ExcursionsExcursions is the hiking committee of the NH Chapter. We have many activities going on each month. Our volunteer Trip Leaders lead trips to many places in northern New England, some that may be familiar and many that will be completely new to you. We'll take you to the tallest peaks of the Presidential Range and to the smaller ones, like Willard and Major. We don't just go to the White Mountains! In southern NH we hike in places like the Monadnock-Sunapee and Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenways, and Pawtuckaway State Park. We also sponsor trips to the New England and NH 100 Highest peaks, many of which don't have trails. On our trips, the safety of the group is always paramount. All of our activities are led by trained volunteer Trip Leaders and may vary from single day to multi-day events. Come meet our leaders. They would like to introduce themselves. Winter is a fine time to climb in the snow and rime. To get a feel, see Jen and Leon's Jan 7, 2012 Flume Slide hike and Jan 11, 2012 Mt. Garfield hike videos by Steve Mansfield. In addition to our general hiking trips, we some specialized groups and activities that might fit your specific need: Family GroupThe Family Group creates opportunities for families with children of all ages and abilities to enjoy the outdoors together.

Annual Activities: Hut Nights and the Presidential Range Hike
The Excursions Committee also sponsors two hut nights a year. The Presidential Range Hike is a trip we run once each summer in mid July. (2012 marks the 46th Year!)
Get Involved!
I know that when I first joined AMC I wasn’t sure how to get started. Which hike would be appropriate for my abilities? Where should I hike? If you have similar questions, please send me an email, and I will help you out and point you in the right direction. Have fun!
