Tired of waking up at 4am on the WEEKEND? We are!

Sleep in!--relatively speaking--and come hike this short (but steep!) loop with a view. We'll be using our axes and crampons to scramble over some icy exposed granite slabs. You'll learn skills that will come in handy on future winter hikes of any length and difficulty.

Bring some food to share at the summit(s) and get back to Boston at a reasonable hour. What more could you want from your last winter school trip?

route

Loop: 4.0 miles / 1700 ft ascent
