Audience: AdultsDescription: Please join us for Week #12 of our Tuesday morning winter hike series in the Blue Hills. We are hoping for some snow this season so we can enjoy the picturesque trails and get to use our micro-spikes and snowshoes, but we will hike even if we don't have snow. This series will run weekly from Dec. 23 rd until March 17 th . These fun hikes will be approximately 6-8 miles, including up to 1,200' elevation gain. We will average a pace of 1 1/2 + mph with short breaks when needed to enjoy a snack or light lunch. The route will include uneven terrain and rock scrambles. Appropriate hiking clothes layers for winter weather conditions, sturdy footwear, lunch/snacks, 2 liters of water, and a small backpack for spare gear are required. Weather can change dramatically around this time of year, so please check before coming to the hike. This hike is open to all who qualify, and you do not have to be a member of AMC to participate. If you don't have micro-spikes or trekking poles, you may still come as some spare gear is available upon request. Registration by application is required for this hike.
Additional Information: Hike will be approximately 6 miles and 600' of elevation beginning and ending at Houghton's Pond.
