We will take the famous Valley Way trail, the start of the renowned Presidential Traverse, all the way up to the Madison Springs Hut where we will be above treeline. From the hut, we will ascend boulders and steep terrain to summit Mt Madison and hike across the Gulfside trail to summit Adams via the Airline trail which we will then follow down past King Ravine to descend below treeline. This challenging and strenuous hike provides incredible views stretching out across the Presidential Range and beyond. Scrambling and boulder hopping abounds, get a taste of the rugged terrain common throughout the Northern Presidentials.

Hike will operate with a minimum of four (4) participants. If the scheduled hike does not reach four or more participants, clients will be asked to reschedule to a later hike or can opt to be refunded for the missed hike.
