- Prior 3-season hiking experience with at least moderate elevation gain (1,500ft+)
We will be hiking up to the top of Sandwich Mountain (aka Sandwich Dome) and bringing our favorite sandwiches to eat at the top!
Sandwich Is a mountain that tried really really hard to be a 4,000 footer, but it just couldn’t do it (elevation 3993). Perhaps if we are motivated enough we can build a 7 foot tall cairn at the top to push it over the edge.
The trail gains a total of 2,637 feet of elevation and is approx 8 miles total (there and back). The weather should be about 45F with a high chance of rain, so rain gear is a must (including waterproof boots!!!!!). Prior hiking experience is required, such as another similarly sized mountain in the White Mountains (not necessarily in the winter).
Connor’s dog Kiva will be accompanying us, she is a very nice and well-behaved husky :)
