Concord Trailways provides bus service from Boston's South Station, stopping in the town of Gorham, located near one of the main access trails. Hikers who enter and exit at different trail points can catch the shuttle to a handful of satellite parking lots. Be sure to secure your car and belongings in the trailside lots. Peak rates apply at all huts on Saturdays, holidays, and the month of August. The mountain huts are spaced 7 to 8 miles apart.
Price includes homecooked breakfast and dinner, plus sleeping blankets.
All huts are fully operational by the first week of June. The other huts close mid-October. Visa and Mastercard deposits accepted. Prime dates fill up six months or more in advance. Rain gear and cold-weather clothing are a must.
