Join us this Sunday for one of the most beautiful winter hikes in the Whites: Tom, Field and Willey! This is a rewarding route covering about 8 miles with ~3500 ft of elevation gain, offering stunning views along the way. We will do this as a traverse starting at Ethan pond trailhead and ending at Crawford Notch.

The trail is pretty steep and features some scrambling and ladders (good physical fitness is a pre-requisite).

Pre-reqs

This will be an active, moderately strenuous day. We’ll aim for a steady pace with limited breaks to stay on schedule.

We recommend that participants have recent experience with hikes in the 8–10 mile range. If you’re unsure whether this trip is a good fit, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to chat and help you decide!

Logistics

On Sunday, we’ll leave Cambridge at 6 am and stop for breakfast along the way.

Driving & Lottery

If you’re able to drive (your own car or a rental), please indicate this in your lottery preferences. Only sign up to drive if you can commit to the full round trip from the Boston/Cambridge area.

Costs

Expected costs include a $5 trip fee, ~$30–50 for shared transportation, up to $15 for any rented gear. We’ll split driving costs evenly using the MIT car cost calculator.
