Prerequisites
This trip is appropriate for strong hikers with comparable winter hiking experience (8+ miles) of >2000ft elevation gain in the last year

Join us for jumping jacks on Jackson and a classic loop hike that includes two NH 4-thousand footers and a 52 with-a-view (WAV) peak. Our route takes us 8.6 miles with 3,200’ elevation gain across the summits of Mount Webster (3,910’), Mount Jackson (4,052’), and Mount Pierce (4,310’). Weather permitting (and it's looking sunny!), we will enjoy wonderful views of the Presidential Range and over Crawford Notch to the Willey Range.
