An easy 2.8-mile hike leads to one of our more popular destinations for families and those new to backcountry travel. If you’re a more seasoned hiker, you’ll also appreciate Zealand Falls Hut for its eastern Pemigewasset location, near Zealand Mountain, the Bonds and other majestic peaks. And as with our other huts, the Zealand croo whips up breakfasts and dinners that don’t disappoint.
I stayed here in January, and, despite the lack of heating, it was incredible. Never before have I stayed at such a cozy place and made so many wonderful memories. Joann, the caretaker, was such an helpful and kind presence throughout my time in Zealand Falls. I would love to come back, and I recommend this "hut" to anyone and everyone!
Amazing Location...waterfalls to explore right in front of the hut with the sound of rushing water while meditating on the front porch!
Beautiful clean hut, great attending crew & we had a variety of hikers there from around the world! The last part of the trail is steep for novice hikers but slow & sure will get you there!!
This was my first hut and is still one of my favorites. Great hike for beginners or little ones. Do the day hike and back or stay the night; just be sure to get reservations as the hut can fill out during peak. AMC does an amazing job maintaining the trails and facilities. Consider joining or donating if you love the White Mountains.
The hut was great! Very family friendly good for young and old. There are snakes you can catch and a very nice waterfall. The hike is 2.8 miles and has amazing scenery. There is no electricity, there is running water but it isn't safe to drink so don't drink it! Bring water bottles if you want to drink or brush your teeth. The only problem I had was they wake you up super early ~6:00 am and have you go to bed at ~9:30 PM, as a night owl it is different. There is no cell service too. Put your phones and other electronics in a plastic bag because there are multiple places they could fall into a river while hiking. I saw two people fall into the rivers on the trails. I have many allergies and they are great with allergies. For dinner they had turkey and mashed potatoes, which I could eat and was very good. Since I am allergic to eggs I brought bagels that I could have for breakfast and they were very nice and cooked the bagel and gave me cream cheese.
Went here in the winter during an overnight. Communal atmosphere of just us, three other hikers, and the amazing caretaker morgan was really fun. Most the calories I consumed were hot chocolate.
