Denali Weekend   August 12-14

Within the mountains that surround Waterville Valley exist a number of New England's highest peaks. The Denali Challenge will be to hike five of these peaks in one weekend. The altitude of these five approximates the height of Mount Denali in Alaska. The weekend will be filled with intense hiking for some, but will also include time for socializing, hikes for families and kids, and games and entertainment. The ultimate challenge is to hike the five peaks equaling 20,000 feet (Denali is at 20,328') and claiming the title "Alive after five". This year hikers will be able to choose from a number of different peaks for the five mountains they will climb.  Participation in the weekend is free and everyone is welcome. Whether you're an experienced hiker looking to master all five peaks, or just looking to join the fun, there is something to fit all abilities and ages.
