- Prerequisites
- Above treeline experience, crampon experience, good physical fitness.
We will be hiking Mt. Washington via Lion's head trail for the ascent and Boott Spur trail for the descent. This is a ~ 9 miles loop that offers great views of the Tuckerman Ravine.
We will likely have to use microspikes, crampons as well as snowshoes. With a ~ 3 miles above-treeline stretch and cold conditions, this will be a good opportunity taste everything winter hiking offers.
Previous above-treeline winter hike experience is required.
