Note: This trip is being rescheduled from June 30 due to weather to July 13 or 14th. Current participants get first dibs, but we'll open up signups again if we have open spots!

Join us on a scenic and difficult day hike to North and South Twin on Sunday, June 30! This is a 10.7 mi hike with 3700 ft of elevation gain – this is a reasonably difficult hike due to the length/elevation, but (if the weather cooperates!) we will have beautiful views from both summits into the Pemi wilderness!

We’re keeping an eye on Sunday’s forecast – we might reschedule/cancel if there is heavy rain!

Route

We will take the North Twin Trail to ascend to North Twin, briefly descend to the col, and then ascend to South Twin before retracing our steps! You can view a caltopo map here and an AllTrails listing (with reviews) here.

Logistics

We plan to leave Cambridge early Sunday morning (5AM) – if there is enough interest, some/all of the group may drive up Saturday evening to spend the night at the MITOC Camelot cabin (1 hr drive to trailhead, vs 2.75 hr from Boston). If you can drive your own car or are willing to rent, please be sure to edit your MITOC profile to show this. There will be a mandatory, in-person pre-trip meeting on Thursday (06/24) at 6:30pm on the 5th floor of W20 near the elevators (one floor above the MITOC office).

Costs

Please budget for: $30-50 carpooling costs, $5-10 if you stay overnight at Camelot, any personal gear rentals, and any food you buy along the way. We intend to use the MIT car cost calculator and share costs equally among participants.

Sign ups are first come first serve but attendance is at leader discretion. If we feel the trip may not be a good fit fitness-wise, we may ask you to drop. If you have questions about the trip or whether it’s a good fit for you, please email the trip leaders!
