The Whites Backpacking

The hike was approximately 5 miles long with a total of 2,000 feet of climbing. We had to hike very cautiously, making sure to step in each other's tracks, for even one foot off the path could have you knee deep in snow. The hike took close to 2 hours each way, wiht a rewarding cabin at the top

Arriving at the Hut was one of the most satisfying parts of the trip (minus the views). This is where we spent most of the evening, staying warm, reading, doing arts and crafts, & playing card games. Before going to bed, we ended up making a lasagna soup, full of cheese and sauce which put us all in a food coma We went up 30 feet outside to a little bunk bed set. We all slept nearly 12 hours, from 21:00 to 8:00. Easily the longest i've slept in the past year.
