Instead of our previously scheduled bike ride it looks like the weather will be more conducive to a walk. Please join the Wednesday Wramblers for a walk in Noanet Woodlands. We will walk approximately 5-6 miles through the Trustees of Reservations Noanet Woodlands. We will enjoy views from Noanet Peak as well as ponds and a mill/dam site. This will be a relatively easy walk but please, no sneakers. The trails may be muddy so hiking boots will be necessary. Poles are optional depending on your preference. We do not allow dogs on this hike. Please bring water, layers and a snack.

Wildcats via Wildcat Ridge Trail, exit via 19 Mile Brook Trail. A very steep, scrambly ascent out of Pinkham Notch followed by a ridge that is notably difficult, followed by a steep descent into Carter Notch where we'll pick up the 19 mile brook trail and exit. I lead fast hikes / few breaks so you should be ready to go. The total distance is about 10 miles, we'll bag two New Hampshire 4000 footers. Micro-spikes are required, you should have crampons and an ice axe in your car--and be ready to use them!

Join us for a moderately paced hike through a northern section of the Bay Circuit Trail near Ipswich, MA. This point-to-point hike that will cover 11 miles with relatively little elevation gain (~2 substantial hills, <500 ft total). The mileage is high but with little elevation, the pace will be moderate, around 1.5-2 mph. We expect to be outdoors for at least 6 hours, traveling through Appleton Farms, Pingree Reservation, Bradley Palmer State Park, and Willowdale State Forest. This will be a great opportunity to get outside in late fall before the snow starts falling.

Enjoy turkey w/cranberry sauce and pecan pie with a small group of families at AMC Lonesome Lake Hut the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This is a great trip for families with some experience hiking! We hike 1.6 miles, (950 ' elevation gain) to the hut at a kid-friendly pace. Late fall hiking is awesome with views unobstructed by leaves, cool temperatures, and no bugs. We carry our sleeping bags, lunches and snacks, water and mountain gear. The group carries in supplies for dinner and breakfast and prepares it together in the hut kitchen.
