Join Young Members leaders Samantha & Kanishk on a 9.2 mile traverse of the gorgeous Moats! We'll traverse the South, Middle and North Moat mountains. This is one of the most scenic hikes in the Whites, and despite being on the 52 With a View list (South Moat at 2770 ft and North Moat at 3196 ft), the trail is as difficult/varied as many 4,000 footers. If the weather is clear we can expect great vistas across the Saco River Valley including Mt Washington.
Join us on an early winter hike to Mt. Flume (4,328 ft). This will be an out-and-back hike along the Osseo Trail.

Full winter gear required and the hike will be limited to 10 participants.

Let's hike to the summit of Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA, with other like-minded families. We will cover about 3 miles with approximately 800 feet of elevation gain. This will be an easy route to the top, at a comfortable moderate pace, where we can stop for lunch, explore the tower, and enjoy the views. Kids of all ages are welcome.

East, across the valley, is the Tripyramid Massif, which includes North Tripyramid and Middle Tripyramid. We will hike from the Waterville Valley Ski Area and will have 2 water crossings.

Join us for a pre-winter hike to Mt Tremont, one of the 52 WAV peaks. As the name suggests, if the weather cooperates, we anticipate great views from the ledgy summit. This hike is an out-and-back totalling 5.6 miles with ~2,550ft 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. There is a major stream crossing that may not be fully frozen at the time of this hike, and we expect to encounter ice and snow on the trail.
Casey leads trips year around for the hiking/backpacking committee of the AMC Boston Chapter. He is heavily engaged in the H/B leadership and training programs such as Spring/Fall Leadership Training as well as our educational programs in the Spring and Winter Hiking Programs. Like other hikers that hike before sun up and after sun down and do 20+ miles, Casey likes to do the same only keep it under 10 miles :) He's experienced but not a speed daemon
