Registration is required for this activity.

Overview

This trip is part of the Boston Chapter Winter Camping and Backpacking Program (WBP) and enrolled participants in that program have priority for registration for this trip. Registration may be opened to others at a later date. This trip is intended for participants who would like to try Winter backpacking for the first time or hone their Winter camping and backpacking skills. We will hike to Nauman Tentsite (adjacent to Mizpah Hut) via the Crawford Path and Mizpah Cut-Off, traveling about 3 miles with 2,000 feet elevation gain. By late Winter there should be plenty of snow for us to dig in and enjoy the full experience of Winter backpacking. After setting up camp we will aim to hike to Mt. Pierce, although you are welcome to remain in camp if you prefer. 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.
