Where is the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center?
The Appalachian Mountain Club operates the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center at the base of the Tuckerman Ravine Trail (on NH 16 between North Conway and Gorham), where hikers and skiers can find information about trail conditions, avalanche advisories, and weather conditions. Visitors to Tuckerman Ravine are encouraged to stop in and talk to AMC’s information desk staff and check the weather, avalanche and ice fall conditions before heading up the trail. The AMC also offers comfortable lodging and hearty meal service for the public at Pinkham Notch. Visitors will also find a small shop stocked with last-minute items and basic outdoor safety gear. The visitor center is open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the year. Pinkham is also the location for the AMC’s educational programs, which include outdoor skills training and natural history workshops. For more information, call the AMC at (603) 466-2721.
