Registration

Registration is required for this activity.

Overview

Join us for a vigorous mid-spring adventure to Mt. Chocorua (3,500') and the Sisters (~3,300) on a challenging loop along the eastern slopes of the ridge through the Mt. Chocorua Scenic Area. We will plan a moderate paced (book time or better) hike across 9 miles gaining ~ 3,300' of elevation. Although Mt. Chocorua is a popular destination for the incredible scenery and open ledge views, this is not planned as a "leisurely" trip. Applicants should have ample recent spring and late winter mountain hiking experience. As payment for the effort, a lounge lizard lunch may be in order on a warm rock if the weather is favorable! 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.
