This trip is part of the Boston Chapter Spring Hiking Program (SHP). Overview: This workshop will be held at the AMC's Cardigan Lodge in Alexandria, NH. The lodge is heated, has a complete commercial kitchen, separate men's and women's bathroom/shower facilities and accommodates about 60 people in bunk rooms ranging from 3 to 5 beds. Cardigan Lodge is located adjacent to Mt. Cardigan State Park. The summit of Mount Cardigan is at 3,121 feet and is flanked by subsidiary peaks, Firescrew Mt. 3,040' Gilman Mt. 2,620'. The trails and terrain are similar to those found in the White Mountains and will provide an opportunity to practice our outdoor skills. Workshop Schedule: The workshop begins Friday evening and ends Sunday afternoon. At about 9:00 P.M., Friday evening, there will be a brief orientation meeting. On Saturday morning, we will have breakfast and each leader will describe the hike they will lead, set a meeting time and place, and Participants will choose the hike they wish to do. The hikes will begin about 9 to 9:30 A.M. The Sunday schedule will be similar but hikes will be of a shorter duration, since we plan to leave the lodge before 3 PM. To address unforeseen challenges such as adverse weather, unacceptable trail conditions or excessive crowding, the planned trip destination, activity and/or meeting place and time may be modified. In that event, participants may elect to join in that activity or opt out.
