If you're new to winter hiking, join us for the 3rd of our Beginner Winter Hikes as we hike Mt. Middle Sister (3,340'), a 52 With-a-View located in Albany NH. Middle Sister (3340?) is a sub-peak of Mt Chocorua, one of three sub-peaks known as the Three Sisters that are situated just below that famous summit. The remains of an old fire tower, in operation from 1927-1948, can be found on the summit of Middle Sister, which offers amazing views of the southeastern corner of the White Mountains from Conway to Ossipee and over the state line into Maine. The hike has a distance of approximately 6.5 miles with elevation gain of about 2,044'. We will be hiking at a moderate pace, and we should complete the trip in around 5-6 hours. This hike has an AMC Activity Rating of Moderate. This hike is open to all that qualify and you do not have to be a member of AMC to participate. On-line registration is required. Attendance in a Winter Hiking Workshop (does not have to be SEMs) or winter hiking experience is also required. Preference will be given to first time winter hikers who attended this year's SEM Winter Hiking Workshop. Full winter gear will be required for this hike. A winter gear list will be provided to those who are confirmed for this hike.
