Join us on a beautiful hike in the Squam Lake region to enjoy stick season (we hope you like the color brown) 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 8:00am, and stop for a quick breakfast along the way.
We'll have a short pre-trip meeting on zoom Thursday, November 9 at 7:30pm to discuss the weather and finalize logistics. In particular, we'll decide whether we'll need microspikes (rentable from MITOC).
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.
