Madison Spring Hut to Lake of the Clouds Hut via Gulfside Trail Reviews
Great section of the Presidential Traverse taking you from Madison Spring hut across Mt. Madison, Mt Adams, Mt. Jefferson and finally up and over Mt. Washington. If doing this hike I recommend taking two days one night to fully complete the Presidential Traverse. Truly a great experience.
