Let's get outside for GOOD VIEWS this first Winter School weekend! We'll hike up Davis Path to Mt. Crawford (5 mi, 2100 ft elevation). If fitness, time and conditions allow, there is the option to extend the hike to Stairs Mountain (for a total of 9.8 mi, 3150 ft). Both peaks are on the "52 with a view" list, so we plan to PEEP SOME PEAKS :)
If you have basic 3-season hiking experience and moderate fitness, this is a good first winter hike for you! We will be using snowshoes and microspikes and getting acquainted with using both forms of traction.
Pre-trip meeting at 5 pm on Thursday, Jan 9 outside the MITOC office. We will briefly cover trip logistics and then rent gear!
