What are we hiking?!
Come hike Mt Lafayette! We'll be going up the beautiful Falling Waters Trail, walking along the ridge line to Mt Lafayette, and coming down Old Bridle Path. Also, we'll stop by the newly open Greenleaf Hut! (newly open for the season)
Difficulty
The route we plan to follow can be found here, or on AllTrails here.
The terrain isn't exceedingly technical, but there's a lot of up (over a short horizontal distance). Trip leaders reserve the right to edit the participant list if we think someone is underprepared for this trip.
Weather
Currently, the weather looks good!
Mandatory Pre-trip meeting!
Meeting is at 5pm on Thursday on Zoom. If you make it on the trip and can't make this meeting, you need to reach out to the trip leaders.
Itinerary
TBD, but we'll likely be leaving early from Cambridge (5:30ish), stopping by breakfast in Lincoln, and aiming to hit the trail by 8:30am. Updates to this will be talked about at the pre-trip meeting.
Other
If you have questions about the hike, please reach out to trip leaders.
