Join us for a hike of Mt. Jackson (elevation 4,052ft/1235m) and Mt. Pierce (elevation 4,311ft/1314m)!
We will be hiking 8 miles and 3100 ft of elevation gain. Get a taste for Presidential Range peaks on this long day, perfect for those with some past hiking experience and in good shape to take on the elevation gain!
We will be taking the Crawford Path Trail to Mt. Pierce, the Webster Cliff Trail to Mt. Jackson, then the Jackson Webster Trail back down! This is an opportunity to practice using traction, as well as layering and delayering efficiently in cold weather. The ridge between the two peaks will offer an opportunity to practice/try out snowshoeing.
Bring your best snacks!
