Lonesome Lake Hut 125th Anniversary
Nestled against the flank of New Hampshire's Cannon Mountain and near Franconia Notch State Park, this year-round hut offers a spectacular view of the Franconia Range across a clear glacial tarn. The westernmost hut on the Appalachian Trail, Lonesome Lake Hut is an hour's hike from the road and the perfect place for families, novice hikers and snowshoers, or anyone seeking mountain views from the water's edge.
