Join us for a hike in the Blue Hills on Sunday morning! This trip is great if you’re new to winter hiking and want to practice your gear and layering systems on a shorter trip. The trail is near Boston so we'll only be out for a half-day. Super funtimes abound! 4.8 miles, 900 feet of elevation:

3-season hiking boots are sufficient for this trip and you will not need any special gear (microspikes, snowshoes, etc). For the most part you will just need a backpack, food and water, and appropriate clothing for being outside!
Pre-trip meeting on Thursday at 5.30pm on zoom: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/94874241839?pwd=UUhYZGdxeHAwbHpTcDhsNmFNZWRsQT09
