Join us for an awesome hike up two 4000 footers in the Pemi: Mt. Garfield and Mt. Galehead! Mt. Garfield’s summit has some of the best views around, and while Galehead’s is a bit more low-key*, we’ll swing by the hut on the way down to take a breather and soak it all in from the porch
Route: We'll be hiking ~14 miles miles with ~4000 ft elevation gain. Here's the Alltrails route overview and Caltopo map.
Prerequisites: We’ll keep a fast pace (2mph) with minimal breaks, so come prepared! Ideally, you’ve done similar mileage or at least 8-10 miles at this pace in the last six months.
Logistics: We’ll hit the road early, leaving Cambridge at 5:30 am. We’ll cover the rest of the trip details, including rides and meeting points, in our pre-trip Zoom on November 7 at 7 pm. Can’t make it? No worries—just email Sai!
*galehead has no views -_- but the hut’s porch does!
