Prerequisites
Experience on similarly difficult 3-season or winter hikes, fitness sufficient for a steep 3,200 ft of elevation gain

Join us for a classic loop hike that includes two NH 4-thousand footers and a 52 with-a-view (WAV) peak. Our route takes us 8.6 miles with 3,200’ elevation gain across the summits of Mount Webster (3,910’), Mount Jackson (4,052’), and Mount Pierce (4,310’). Weather permitting (and it's looking good!), we will enjoy wonderful views of the Presidential Range and over Crawford Notch to the Willey Range.

We will travel over fairly steep terrain. This trip is appropriate for strong hikers with comparable hiking experience (even if outside the winter season).

There is a mandatory pre-trip meeting at 5:45 pm on Thursday 1/19 in W20. We will send further logistics in the evening after the lottery runs.
