This is a great first winter hike if you missed going on hikes during IAP!
In the morning we'll be doing a short hike at Rattlesnake Mt by rumney (2.5 miles 900ft, short but steep). We'll enjoy prime buttsledding in the way down!
We’ll be spending the rest of the day hanging around Camelot. A major goal is to build a building a snow shelter that we could potentially sleep in (or at least hang out in). We'll also use the mountaineering stoves to make warm snacks/drinks and could explore the Camelot grounds, or just be cozy by the fireplace inside.
Alex and Janey are aiming to stay at Camelot Friday night if there's enough interest, but if nobody is up for it and since the hike is so short, we'd be able to leave Boston at around 8am Saturday for an easy 11am trailhead time.
