Join Evan and Fiona this Sunday for an above treeline adventure on Mt Monroe. We'll plan to hike up the Ammonoosuc "Ammo" Ravine trail to the AMC Lake of the Clouds Hut. From there we will assess the conditions and head to the summit of Mt. Monroe if they're favorable. The overall hike is 7.2 miles and 2900' of gain and loss. This is a steep hike and we expect challenging weather, so strong physical fitness and efficient movement on the terrain will be important. Crampons, ice axe, and full face cover with ski goggles are required.
