We had a lovely trip to Greenleaf hut in the White Mountains. The hut is at 4200 feet, so the view was earned, but I thought it was worth it. It was 2.9 miles with a gain of about 2500 ft. That night Susi and I looked down onto fireworks in the valley from the bunkroom window, which compensated us for the lack of stars. We stayed there one night. As a side benefit we were able to visit the Menons in Amherst for two nights on either side.
Here is the hut. It's above the tree line. There is a small miraculous lake just below it. I especially enjoyed the alpine flowers.
