Mizpah Spring 125th Anniversary
Mizpah means "pillar in the wilderness," an apt name for this hut nestled on the southern flank of Mt. Pierce. The hut overlooks Montalban Range, the Dry River Wilderness, and Crawford Notch, and features large, south-facing windows, varied-size bunkrooms, and a separate library and game room.
