FULL PACKER DATELINE NEWS RELEASE – 9/07/06 – 10:33am: There have been comments and concerns regarding the availability of tenting sites leading up to Mt. Adams. I emailed RMC (Randolph Mountain Club) and received the following e-mail:

“RMC only offers tenting at one of our sites- The Perch - where there are 4 large tent platforms. The AMC also has a tenting site on the Valley way about 1 mile below Madison Hut. weekadays are not typically to busy at the sites- but can be at times ( last night the Perch was at full capacity with 18 people there). It is of course illegal to camp anywhere above treeline in the area, but down below treelineyou can camp anywhere as long as you are at least 200 feet from trails, water sources etc...Problem is the terrain is not very conducive to camping in the northern Presidentials”
