Snowshoeing in the wild north country! Mt. Cabot is the northernmost NH 4000-footer, the highest peak in the Pilot Range, deep in fern-filled fir forests, but with views near the summit.
Hike: 9.6 miles, 2900 ft. elevation gain. See https://caltopo.com/m/01V3D
Our required pre-trip meeting will be Thursday at 8pm on the 4th floor of the MIT Student Center. If everyone is feeling ambitious then, we could instead plan a Mt. Cabot loop hike via The Horn (rocky peak with panoramic views) and Unknown Pond - that would add 2 miles and necessitate an earlier start.
We’ll leave Cambridge very early Sunday morning and stop for a quick breakfast along the way.
