Madison Spring 125th Anniversary
The present-day hut is constructed on the site of the AMC's first high mountain hut, built in 1888. Madison Spring occupies a commanding setting above the sheer walls of Madison Gulf, with spectacular 360-degree views of the Presidentials, Kilkenny, and Pilot ranges. It's a great base for hiking nearby Mt. Adams and Mt. Madison as well as observing the fascinating alpine tundra environment, including geology and plant life.
