What are your favorite things to do in the White Mountains area?
The list of favorite things to do in the White Mountains is long indeed: the Connor Brook swimming hole, watching sunsets from the Lodge, Square Ledge, Lost Pond, a peaceful ski through an evergreen forest covered with new snow, Tuckerman Ravine in various seasons, the visual command of Crawford Notch from the summit of Mt. Willard, and sitting at the edge of Lonesome Lake at dusk remembering all of my family history there (including my first-ever hike in 1949!), to name just a few….

Co-Secretary – Kate Fox

Why are you involved with this organization?
I was first introduced to lodges and outdoor organizations as a young child through my grandfather hiking to the Lonesome Lake AMC Hut and loved every moment of the adventure. I was heavily involved in my collegiate outing club and have brought all the lessons learned into my adult life (how else can you confidently learn to grocery shop and cook for 40+ people!). I continue to support the younger generations in teaching the invaluable skills and life’s joys that are best learned in the woods.

What are your favorite things to do in the White Mountains area?
I love canoeing, more specifically canoe camping! And you can’t beat the backcountry skiing access in and around the whites!
