774 Shem Valley Rd, Alexandria, New Hampshire

Fee: $220 per person for 2 nights lodging (bunk rooms or camping) and 6 meals.

Join Women Outdoors for a hiking and paddling adventure based at AMC's Cardigan Lodge, at the base of Mt. Cardigan in Alexandria, NH.

You must be a paid member and logged in to be able to register.

Registration will close on May 18th to reserve our spots.

Limit 50 people in the lodge, 4 at the campsite.

Lodging includes Friday dinner through Sunday lunch (they feed well!). (We will be providing our own Sunday lunch, there will be a food survey coming out closer to the date.)

You can sleep in a bunk room, or, if you camp at their nearby campsites, meals are still included at the dining hall and showers are available.

Bunk rooms are available on the 2nd and 3rd floors. You can let us know with whom you would like to share a room, and indicate if you can sleep on a top bunk, and if you need a 2nd floor room.

We plan to offer a variety of hikes with experienced leaders on Saturday (low elevation easier trail loops and more strenuous hiking to one or two of the summits). On Sunday there can be hiking, and also guided paddling with us on a flat section of the Pemigiwasset River, 26 minutes drive to the east.

Potentially we can bring a variety of single kayaks for you to rent at $30 each (2 weeks advance notice required, payment on site), or bring your own.

Registration MUST be paid in full through our Wild Apricot website (AffiniPay) or by check to secure your reservation. You must be a Women Outdoors member in good standing at the time of the event to attend.

Cancellation fee of $25 prior to May 18th.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have to cancel after May 18th you will need to find a WO member to take your spot or not receive a refund. This is AMCs policy for group reservations.
