Join us on a 5.4 mile loop hike to two of New Hampshire’s peaks – Mt. Morgan and Mt. Percival, with 1500 ft of elevation gain and stunning 360 degree views (weather permitting). This hike is not as strenuous as some of the more popular 9+ miles 4000 ft elevation gain hikes, and therefore this is a great way to ease into the winter hiking season! We shall be hiking at slow-to-moderate pace. Bring your favorite warm winter beverage and be on the lookout for secret caves.

Prerequisites: Must be fit and have some hiking experience, having hiked at least 4 miles during the last year.
Logistics: Mandatory in-person pre-trip meeting on Thursday, Jan. 11, at 6:00 pm. We shall review the route, check out the necessary gear, and talk about other logistics. We’ll plan to leave Cambridge around 7:00 am on Sunday, Jan. 14.
