[CHANGE OF PLAN: Because of weather, we are now hiking to Mt. Watatic instead.]
Join us on a beautiful hike in the Squam Lake region to enjoy peak fall foliage and an exciting route with a chance to climb three ladders in a row and to squeeze through some boulder caves! (There are detours around the ladders and caves for those who prefer to avoid them.)
Route: 5.4 miles, 1500 ft. elevation gain, with a little scrambling, and the option of climbing three ladders and/or passing through boulder caves. Map.
We'll leave Cambridge around 9:00am, and stop for a quick breakfast along the way.
We'll have a short pre-trip meeting on zoom Thursday, October 19 at 7:00pm to discuss the weather and finalize logistics.
