An inclusive, empowering environment where we push limits together.
WOMEN-ONLY WEEKEND GETAWAY • JULY 25-26, 2026
Conquer Carter Notch. We've Got Your Pack.
Join an empowering, women-only weekend traverse through the White Mountains. We handle the gear, the driving, and the hut reservations—you just bring your hiking legs and join the tribe.
This is a small group event, capped at 10 participants. Register before it’s too late!
The Challenge: 12 Miles, 4,300ft Elevation, Unforgettable Views
Get ready to test your climbing legs on serious terrain. On day one, we’ll tackle Mount Hight and Carter Dome, treating you to extraordinary above-treeline views looking back toward Mount Washington and Tuckerman Ravine.
After a rugged first day, you’ll descend to the historic AMC Carter Notch Hut to swap trail stories and rest up. Day two features a triumphant, gritty climb up Wildcat Ridge to the Wildcat A summit before our final descent via the 19 Mile Brook Trail.
World-Class Hiking. Zero Logistical Headaches.
Planning a multi-day trek shouldn't be as exhausting as the hike itself. We've removed the barriers so you can focus on the trail and the company. This is a fully guided, women-only experience designed to let you disconnect, challenge yourself, and forge new friendships without stressing over the details.
Round-trip door-to-trail transportation straight from Greater Boston.
Fully secured Carter Notch Hut reservations included as part of the adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find all the details you need to prepare for your journey and hit the trail with total confidence.
Book Now – Spots are LimitedYou don’t need to be a mountaineer, but you do need a solid baseline of fitness. Covering 12 miles and 4,300 feet of elevation gain over rocky, uneven White Mountain terrain is a serious physical challenge. If you regularly hike, run, or do endurance workouts, you’ll do great! We hike at a supportive, group-friendly pace—nobody gets left behind.
Totally fine! We will still pack all the gear you need, guide you for the day with the rest of the group and make sure that you are perfectly taken care of from your car to the summit and back! Please note that pricing does not change if you are choosing to drive yourself.
Carter Notch Hut is a beautiful, off-grid backcountry lodge, not a luxury hotel. You’ll be sleeping in an indoor shared bunkroom with mattresses and blankets provided. There is running cold water and composting toilets, but no showers or Wi-Fi. It’s an authentic, rugged mountain experience, elevated by a hot, family-style dinner and breakfast cooked by the hut croo!
We provide the heavy hitters: high-quality daypacks, trekking poles, and all your trail snacks. You will just need to bring your own broken-in hiking boots, weather-appropriate clothing (we highly recommend moisture-wicking layers), a water bladder/bottles, and personal toiletries. Once you book, we’ll send you a comprehensive, stress-free packing list.
We hike rain or shine! Mountain weather is famously unpredictable, which is exactly why having a certified, expert guide is so valuable. We will only alter the route or cancel the itinerary if conditions become actively unsafe (such as severe thunderstorms or extreme winds).
