Franconia Ridge is one of the most iconic hikes in the Northeast—and one of the most vulnerable.
That’s why AMC’s professional trail crews are restoring it, one step at a time. Because the alpine ecosystem is fragile. And the foot traffic is relentless.

At this year’s Dandelion Dig Day at AMC’s Lakes of the Clouds, 24 volunteers removed 65 pounds of invasive dandelions from fragile alpine habitat! 🌼
Why it matters: dandelions outcompete rare native plants and disrupt alpine biodiversity—often spread by hikers’ boots.
