Description: This hike is part of the Boston Chapter’s Women’s+ Hiking Series, a series of hikes that begin in the 3-4 mile range in May/June, with options to progressively increase in distance (up to 10 miles) and difficulty throughout the summer. Click here to see other hikes in the series. Jump in wherever is comfortable for you, and join us (for one hike or more) in building strength, experience, confidence, and community in the outdoors!
This trip will take us to a gem of the Lakes Region, Mt. Major. While shorter in distance and elevation, you'd never know it from the summit with its clear views of Lake Winnipesaukee. We will hike 3.2 miles and gain a little over 1,000 feet of elevation. The trails we will take feature some rocks typical of New Hampshire hiking trails, and will afford the option to practice some light "scrambling" (using your hands as well as feet to navigate up the rock). We will hike at a relaxed pace, and will not screen for pace on this hike. Whether you are new to hiking or just dusting off the boots after the winter, come join us!
Gear: -footwear with good traction -snacks -2 liters of water -rain jacket -comfortable clothing/layers that allow freedom of movement (cotton may or may not be acceptable depending on the weather forecast) -sunscreen -bug spray
There is a fee to park in the parking lot, but parking along the road is free (and often necessary, as the parking lot tends to fill on nice weekend days).
This is intended to be a Womens+ affinity trip , but everyone is welcome. If you do not identify with that group, we trust that you have reviewed our allyship criteria, have done your due diligence to educate yourself, and have committed to abide by our Code of Conduct .
