Prerequisites
Prior winter hiking experience

We'll be heading up Mount Cardigan via Manning trail and coming down Clark connecting to Holt trail. Cookies will be provided but feel free to bring your own!

Total distance of 5 miles, elevation gain of ~1800 ft.

While Cardigan is relatively low in altitude (less than 3200ft), it is very exposed and is a great exercise for above tree line travel.

Forecast seem decent with highs of 23F and lows of 16F. Winds of 20-30mph are forecasted so full face coverings and goggles will be required. The top will be icy so we will also be taking crampons and ice axes.
