#4About Mount Monroe
Mount Monroe stands at 5,384 feet and is located just southwest of Mount Washington. The mountain is easily accessible from the Lakes of the Clouds Hut and offers stunning views across the Southern Presidentials. The summit features extensive alpine vegetation and is particularly beautiful in June when the alpine wildflowers bloom. Mount Monroe Loop provides spectacular 360-degree views.
History
Named after President James Monroe, the mountain has been a popular destination since the establishment of the Lakes of the Clouds Hut in 1915. The hut, situated at 5,012 feet, is the highest of the AMC's White Mountain hut system and serves as a base for exploring Monroe, Washington, and surrounding peaks. The Crawford Path, one of America's oldest continuously maintained hiking trails, passes near the summit.
