"The long distance hiker,
a breed set apart,
From the likes of the usual pack.
He'll shoulder his gear,
be hittin' the trail;
Long gone, long 'fore he'll be back."
? M.J. Eberhart

The trail everyone loves to hate is due for some summer cleaning!

Join us for a day hike along with the AMC family group on Mount Morgan (2220')/Mount Percival (2212') loop (~ 5.3 miles; 1575 feet of elevation gain). This hike is appropriate for kids and adults ages 8+ with some hiking experience on open rocky ledges. We will hike open ledges, a series of fun wooden ladders and tight squeezes through rock caves, cliff faces and rock scrambles, not for the faint of heart, as well as an alternate path or two should caves and ladders not be your thing. The climb is moderate to steep.
