I have a week in Hew Hampshire this July. I would really like to hike a large section of the whites while I am up here. I have about 5 days to hike: My thoughts are doing the hut to hut.

Day 1: dropped off early at Greenleaf trail head and hike to Galehead = 11.5

Day 2: A - Galehead to Zealand = 7.0 or
B - Galehead to Crawford/Highland Center = 12.5 via a-z trail

Day 3: A - Zealand to Mizpah via crawfords = 8.1
B - Crawford to Lake of clouds 7.6

Day 4: A - Mizpah to Madison = 12
B - Lake of the clouds to pinkham = 14.8 picked up

Day 5: A - Madison to Pinkham = 7.8 pick up

I was able to string together a few 16 mile days this past summer in Glacier NP. I have a short window and want to pack as much distance in those 5 days as possible.

Is it worth it to take a huge 14 mile day Zealand to Mizpah via ethan pond and websters cliff?

I need to firm up the huts soon as I bet they fill up qick. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance!!

Found a special on the AMC site:

Galehead
Zealand Falls

Looks like they are all about $94 for AMC members.
