Carrying the AMC 150 pennant on the Appalachian Trail: Moose Mountain, NH, Backpack, July 13-14, 2026 - by John Williams | AMC NH Chapter

I have done it 3 times without tents, and my nights were as follows: 5 days, South to North: Sehonghong Shelter (barely sleeps 1, unmarked) Bannerman Cave Didima Cave Ledgers Cave 6 days, South to North: Tsepeng Cave (unmarked) Upper Nhlangeni Cave (unmarked, the one on the map is further down the pass) Upper Giants Cave (unmarked, the one on the map is further down the pass) Reido Cave (unmarked) Upper Nguza Cave (unmarked) 6 days, North to South: Easter Cave (big day) Upper Injisuthi Cave (probably the hardest day of hiking I’ve ever done) Upper Giants Cave (we all crashed, so we called it a day very early) Sani Top (we got caught in a massive storm and had to give up on the concept of an unsupported traverse) Sani Top again (it rained all day - we finished from there the next day) You don’t really need to boil Drakensberg water, so that isn’t an issue
