Join us for an early December hike up both Mount Hancock and South Hancock Mountain, two of NH's 48 4kers, where we will cover 9.8 miles and 2,600 ft of elevation gain in total. Our pace will be moderate - 1.5 to 2 mph - but less if we are breaking trail. We will encounter several brook crossings, steep and rough terrain some in sections, and potential blowdowns at elevation. Although we will not be going above treeline, there are lookouts that offer great views of the White Mountains.

Join us for a moderate but steady-paced hike to the summits of Mounts Field, Willey, and Tom. This hike, of approximately 9 miles with 3300 feet of elevation gain, is a great opportunity to summit three 4000 footers in one day. Along the way, we'll reach the summit of Mount Avalon, which, on a clear day, will feature nice views of Crawford Notch and the Southern Presidentials. Participants should have solid three-season hiking experience and some experience hiking in winter; this should not be your first winter hike.

Join AMC Boston's Young Members (20s/30s) to volunteer at Mass Audubon's Drumlin Farm and Wildlife Sanctuary! We will help improve the successional shrub habitat used by resident and migratory birds, as well as small mammals and other wildlife. Tasks will include pruning and lopping, among other things. Afterwards, we can explore the farm and wildlife sanctuary.

Wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty. If you have work gloves, bring them; otherwise Drumlin has loaner gloves you can use. Bring a water bottle - a must have! Sun protection is also recommended.

Join us for an early December hike to Mt. Pierce (4,312 feet) in the Presidential Range. Mt. Pierce, formerly known as Mt. Clinton, is one of the 48 4k peaks in the Southern Presidentials. Formerly called Mount Clinton for governor DeWitt Clinton of New York, it was renamed after President Franklin Pierce, the only president born in New Hampshire. We will hike the Crawford Path, which, originally created in 1819, is the oldest maintained hiking trail in the country.

Join us for a traverse of Mt. Cardigan and Firescrew! We will focus on handling the weather on exposed sections of the hike rather than solely on summiting. Our route will climb about 1,900' in elevation gain, around 5.7mi in distance and will take us about 4.5 hours. This is a great chance to work on above treeline (ATL) hiking skills and help decide if bigger ATL trips are for you or not. As such, we will go even in marginal conditions, breaking trail as needed. Participants must have some prior winter hiking experience.
