Overview

This trip is part of the Boston Chapter Winter Hiking Program (WHP) and is only open to enrolled participants of the 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] Hike two of the 52WAV with us on this hike to Mt Avalon and Mt Willard. If the weather cooperates, we'll get the two best views across Crawford Notch from the west. This hike is two connected out and back hikes, totaling 6.9 miles with ~2450ft of elevation gain. We'll hike at a pace on the slow side of moderate, and anticipate finishing in book time or a little longer -- i.e., in 5-6 hours. There is one stream crossing (that will probably not be fully frozen), and we expect to encounter snow and ice. 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. In the event of adverse weather the hike will be cancelled.

I have been leading hikes with the Boston Chapter of the AMC since the late 90's. I love the White Mountains; I have hiked across the US, as well as several times overseas on multiday backpacks and hut to hut trips. Love winter hiking as well.
