Join Karina, Kathy and Nicolas for a breakfast themed day of pancakes on Mt Passaconaway and waffles on Mt Whiteface! This day will feature 10.5 miles and 3900 feet of elevation gain - a tough day!
In order to give our team a shot of completing the mileage and elevation gain, expect an early start (~5AM meet-up time in NH) and a fast hiking pace! This trip is aimed at those with past winter hiking experience who would like to practice efficient layering and breaks (and of course the celebration of the most important meal of the day).
We will begin the hike at the Ferncroft trailhead, hiking up via the Blueberry Ledge Tr, the Rollins Trail, and returning via the Dicey Mill Trail. The ledges present an opportunity to utilize crampons.
**Note: If you don't like pancakes, there will also be poptarts on Passaconaway! Probably many flavors of poptarts, because they're the best breakfast food!
