Prerequisites
Hiking boots or trail runners. Physical condition for a hike of this length and elevation gain.

We'll hike up to Mt. Paugus, one of the 52-With-A-View peaks. On the way down, we'll summit a second mountain, Mt. Mexico, and enjoy Big Rock Cave! The hike should be possible even if wet, but if it's really bad, we might consider hiking Saturday instead of Sunday.

Route: 8.2 miles and 2600 ft. elevation gain. We'll hike at a comfortable pace. AllTrails link

We will aim to leave Cambridge at 6am.
