Join us on a hike to Mount Moosilauke via George Brook Trail, doing a loop with panoramic views of peak fall foliage (hopefully) at Moosilauke Summit and South Peak.
(We might switch to a shorter and easier hike depending on the weather due to the possibility of rain on Saturday morning)
Route: 7.5 miles and 2500 ft. elevation gain. We'll leave Cambridge at 7:30am in the morning and hike at a moderate pace. Shoes with proper traction are essential for this trip - no sneakers! There will be an above treeline section exposed to high winds so be prepared for the possibility of cold weather.
We will have a short pre-trip meeting on zoom Thursday, Oct 3 at 7:30pm.
If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, edit the "Lottery preferences" on your MITOC profile to show this.
