Join us on a hike to Kearsarge North, one of the New Hampshire 52-With-A-View peaks, known for its fire tower with a 360-degree view! If after we're done, we're up for another hike, we can also drive a few miles and then attempt to hike up to North and South Doublehead!
Route: Kearsarge North is 6.2 mi, 2600 ft. elevation gain; map. The Doublehead loop is 4.1 mi, 1850 ft. gain; map. (So both would be 10.3 mi, 4450 ft.)
We will leave Cambridge early so that we can hike at a comfortable pace. We'll stop at a NH bakery for a quick breakfast along the way.
Participants will share car costs (about $130 for the whole car). If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, please edit the lottery preferences on your MITOC profile to show this.
