Join us for a Winter weekend at Sub Sig Cabin in Hart's location in Crawford Notch down the road from AMC Highland Center. This is a half century old hidden jewel … in fact it is called Hart's location and the cabin ( Sub Sig) is rustic yet clean and functional with an outhouse ( yeah) and hauled in water. We will plan a hike/ cross country skiing choice both Saturday and Sunday as well as group breakfasts and a supper prepared by us all on Saturday evening. Trip is recommended for families with kids ages 7+. Group size is limited to 15 lucky souls.
Join us for advanced beginner to intermediate winter day hikes in the Pinkham Notch area of New Hampshire. Stay at a rustic cabin and share the camaraderie and cooking of Saturday/Sunday breakfasts, Saturday happy hour, and dinner (BYOB in moderation). We will choose one or two hikes each day. The difficulty of the hikes will depend on conditions and group interest. However, you should plan on a full day of hiking with significant elevation gain.
This trip goes off the beaten track! Snowshoe through a beautiful winter landscape breaking our own trail and possibly visiting two peaks in the Pemigewasset Range on the way.
