Details

Have prior winter hiking experience and want to dive right into Winter School 2025? We're heading to the White Mountains to hike two NH48 on North & South Kinsman! This will be a difficult trip of 10 miles and 3500 feet of elevation gain.

Kollectively we will keep our hiking spirits up with kind encouragement in the form of kudos (it’s just good karma).
