Join us for a spring hike to the summit of Mount Waumbek, one of New Hampshire's 4000 footers. We will take the Starr King trail out-and back for a 7.2 mile round trip with 2,700' of elevation gain. This is a shoulder-season hike, so hikers should expect varied conditions, including the possibility of winter-like conditions and the probability of mud and wet trails. Weather permitting, the hike offers views of the Presidential range while passing over Mount Starr King (3,906'), one of the 52 With A View.
