As part of our Notch Hostel 10-Year Anniversary Celebration, we’re climbing Franconia Ridge for sunrise!

Join @findingphilip (Instagram account) in the early morning hours on July 19th for a moderate hike to one of the most iconic locations in the White Mountains.

Most folks will start together but hike at their own pace. Please feel free to start earlier or later as needed.

Participants must have prior experience hiking 4,000-footers and be prepared to hike solo if necessary.
