Hike Ratings Key

The H/B Committee uses a hike rating system for all trips, describing the mileage, pace, and terrain for each. The 3 character rating is placed in parentheses after each trip title, for example: Let's Hike to Ike (B3B). See our key to learn more about the ratings.

Monthly Harvard Cabin Trips

Join us for a weekend trip to Harvard Cabin, located near Pinkham Notch, NH. The weekend provides both beginner and intermediate day hikes in the White Mountains, group meals, and a relaxed and rustic atmosphere. Because of its proximity to the White Mountain National Forest, the cabin makes an ideal base for day hikes into the Presidential Range, the Carter-Moriah Range, and northern portions of the WMNF.
