Mt Squam,
New Hampshire, White Mountains,
NH United States
Join us for a series of hikes on Wednesday evenings. These are great opportunities for anyone looking to get outside on a weeknight, meet other local AMC members and stay fresh for bigger weekend adventures. Hikes are typically under five miles, at a relaxed pace and include a mid-hike snack break. This out-and-back hike will ascend the Doublehead trail and continue to the summit of Mt Squam covering 5.3miles with 1,760' of total elevation gain. After a steady climb hikers are rewarded with a glorious view of Squam Lake and the NH Lakes Region overall from a rocky ledge where we can enjoy a snack. The trail then follows the ridge to the summit of Mt Squam where we can enjoy views of the mountains to the north. Prospective participants should be in good hiking condition and will need to complete a brief phone call with the leader in order to complete registration. Once registration is confirmed participants will be provided with the time and place to meet. These hikes will occur nearly every week starting in April and run through the summer months. All hikes will be listed on www.outdoors.org about a month in advance, so please check the site regularly as the season goes on. The locations will be throughout the state, with nearly every region hosting at least one. Please register for each hike with its respective leader.
