We'll be summiting Mt Carrigain by way of the Nancy Pond Trail (very scenic!), up the Desolation Trail (one of the Terrifying 25 electives), and then down the Signal Ridge Trail. Be prepared for rough scrambling!
Map and forecast
Route here. Roughly 15 miles and 5k feet of elevation gain!
Pre-trip meeting
We will have a pre-trip meeting Thurs May 25 at 8pm on zoom.
Logistics
The plan will be to leave Cambridge very early so that we can hike at a comfortable pace. We'll stop for a quick breakfast close to the trailhead. 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.
