We guide a fair number of guests on longer traverses and whatnot, and often rely on the AMC’s system of “High Huts” at the request of our guests — in lieu of backpacking. The huts are on the pricy side but our guests don’t have to carry a tent or a pad and can also omit their larger meals (namely breakfast and dinner) from their packs leaving that task to the AMC’s “Hut Croo.” For some guests it’s a fabulous option so we guide a few of these trips throughout the regular season. This last trip was along the northern rim of the Pemi utilizing Greenleaf and Galehead huts before they’re boarded up, and Zealand Hut before it reverts to the self-service state it assumes in the winter. On lead for this amazing journey was Redline Guide Phoebe Seltzer. Phoebe grabbed a few photos along the way, below:
