Join us on this beginner-friendly hike in the Middlesex Fells! We will meet at Flynn Rink at 10am (leave MIT approx. 9:30am, no need for an early rise!) and hike the Rock Circuit Trail, approximately 3 miles with 282 feet of elevation gain.
The only prerequisite for this hike is enthusiasm for winter hiking and attending the pre-trip meeting on Thursday, immediately after the lecture outside of 6-120.
During this hike we will practice layering, and given the forecast likely also learn the importance of a waterproof outer layer! Please note the weather forecast for Sunday keeps changing and there is a possibility for A LOT of rain in the Boston area. This trip will be weather dependent, and if we do get a lot of rain this trip will be canceled for safety.
