We'll be hiking Hedgehog Mountain, a delightful peak in the Sandwich Range in the White Mountains. Hedgehog is on the 52 With a View list, and has fantastic views from open ledges. The hike is 4.7 miles/1400 feet of elevation, with a fun short scramble section where we'll need to use our hands for balance. This is a great first hike in the Whites, or first hike of the spring! We're not screening for pace, so we'll stay together as a group at the pace of the slowest person.
