4000-Footers Club: Cannon Mountain
Guineafowl Adventure Company is kicking off its 4,000-footers club and we want YOU to join us! Every last Saturday of each month we will be hiking a different 4,000-footer, and some trips we’ll bag a few in a single day! So if you’re just starting your peak-bagging journey – come do them all with us, or if you’re well on your way and only have certain peaks left on your list, just sign up for the ones you need!
As with all Guineafowl trips, we provide round trip transportation, backpacks, water, snacks, safety equipment (including traction for the winter months) and friendly, experienced guides! For this special club you’ll also receive a commemorative 4,000-footers journal to keep track of all your summits!
The tower atop Cannon Mountain has some of the best views in Franconia Notch, as you are straight across from Mt. Lafayette, Lincoln, and the whole Franconia Ridge! Also see views of the valley as we climb the Hi-Cannon trail, which features great ridge views and ladders to climb! After enjoying the summit, we travel back down via the Lonesome Lake trail, with an option to swing by the AMC Lonesome Lake High Hut and enjoy the serene lakeside views as well!
