Overview

This trip is part of the Boston Chapter Winter Hiking Program (WHP) and is only open to enrolled participants of that program. If you would like more information about the WHP, please visit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w_4evBZ-fTs17Ha4H8AwhfdRI2FRK1HWvlLR00OTRks/edit?usp=sharing . If you still have questions, email us at [email protected] This is a chance for some fun in the outdoors and an early opportunity to gauge your physical fitness, practice heat and energy management techniques and ask questions of the leaders concerning equipment and hiking techniques. The hike will take place in Wachusett Mountain State Reservation near Princeton, Massachusetts. We will hike approximately 4 miles at a moderate pace and gain around 750 ft of elevation. We expect to hike for approximately 3-4 hours. 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. Backup plan: bad weather will cause cancelation

(Email this person.)

As an experienced leader with the AMC Boston Chapter, I excel in guiding hiking expeditions across all four seasons of the year. I lead both single-day and multi-day hikes, where I share my deep knowledge and love for the outdoors with fellow hiking enthusiasts. I've hiked New Hampshire's 48 4,000-footers during both summer and winter seasons.
