Our Mission: To create a world-class Adirondack hut-to-hut system that advances sustainable communities, conservation and wellness. Our Vision: Something happens in the backcountry. You breathe easier. Think clearer. Feel sharper. We started Adirondack Hamlets to Huts because we don’t think you should need to own an expedition’s worth of gear – or be willing to sleep in a tent for days on end – to experience that freedom. The hut-to-hut model is a time-tested favorite in Europe, New Zealand and other places, and it’s getting more popular in North America, too. What’s different about Adirondack Hamlets to Huts is how we’ve conceived our network: Every route starts and ends in a community. You’ll hike, bike, paddle, snowshoe or ski through some of the most stunning, remote Adirondack landscapes imaginable by day. And when the day ends, you’ll come off the trail to eat a hot meal in a local restaurant or backcountry lodge, and retire for the night to a warm bed before beginning another day’s exploration of the vast and wild Adirondacks. The wild parts of the Adirondacks, though, are just a portion of what makes this place special. More than a century ago, the Adirondack Park was created with the goal that humans and nature could live in balance—community and conservation, together. Adirondack Hamlets to Huts is committed to both.
