SLACKPACKS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SLACKPACKS
1. WILDCAT SLACKPACK NOBO (Pinkham Notch to Hostel) (free with (2) or more night stay)
Depart Hostel at 7:30 AM. Arrive at Pinkham Notch by 7:50 AM.
*The Wildcat Slackpack is a 21-mile (34 km) section of the Appalachian Trail between Pinkham Notch and Rattle River Trailhead. It includes Carter Dome and Mt. Moriah.
*This is one of the most challenging slackpacks on the Appalachian Trail and hikers should expect a traverse of 7-12 hours.
*If you need to get off trail, use the 19 Mile Brook, Imp, or Stoney Brook trails. These trails lead to NH 16 and are relatively easy outs.
*For safety, if you think this slackpack presents too much of a challenge, then we suggest an attempt over a period of 2 or 3 days. For example:
- Example 1 (2 days): Hike 13 miles to Imp campsite, stay the night. Hike to Hostel on the 2nd day.
- Example 2 (3 days): Hike to Carter Hut, stay the night. Hike to Imp campsite, stay the night. Hike to Hostel on the 3rd day.
*Cost: free with (2) or more night stay; $20 otherwise.
GENERAL INFORMATION
*Our shuttles typically run from May through October.
*There may be an additional cost for shuttles outside of hours.
*While we can hold any gear you don't want to carry on a slackpack, the guest is ultimately responsible for their belongings.
*If a night's stay at an AMC hut or campsite does not fit into your plans, please be aware of the AMC backcountry camping rules.
