On Sunday, we'll be hiking the Hancocks, known for a steep trail up, and phenomenal buttsledding down.

This is a 9.5mi loop featuring 2,600ft of elevation gain, with a steep grade. We'll be following the Hancock trail, which starts from the side of the Kancamagus Highway.

We will require microspikes and possibly snowshoes - we will discuss at the pre-trip meeting on Tuesday.
