We particularly encourage folks who identify as AAPI / BIPOC to join this trip but are open to all participants with a taste for Asian snacks and pastries (and traditions)!

Join us for a sunrise hike in the Fells to ring in the Lunar New Year!

We’ll be hiking the Rock Circuit Trail in the Middlesex Fells, a relatively short but hilly 2.8-mile loop with ~300 feet of elevation. We’ll start the hike at 5:30AM and aim to watch the sunrise from the old MIT Observatory accompanied by some tasty Asian snacks.

This is a great trip if you’re newer to winter hiking, looking to practice night hiking, or just looking to get outside this weekend but have to stay close to home.
