Prerequisites
Previously attended winter school, previous winter hiking experience, previous experience using microspikes

The Franconia ridge is one of the most iconic hikes of the Whites, with amazing views on both sides, and 2 miles of really fun above treeline exposed terrain!

The hike is a 9 mile loop with about 4000ft in elevation gain. Full skin coverage is required for the above treeline section: goggles, balaclava, warm gloves, etc.

There will be a mandatory zoom pretrip meeting Thursday 12/1 at 9pm!

If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, edit the “Lottery preferences” on your MITOC profile to show this.
