SUMMARY: Join Neil B. and Jim B. for a hike to the summit of Mt. Sunapee. We’ll hike the two mile (one way) Summit Trail, an elevation gain of approximately 1600 feet. If there’s time and interest, we’ll make a side trip to the Lake Solitude overlook, an additional 1-1/2 miles round trip. This is a “moderate” hike, OK for novice hikers or even fit beginners. We’ll have lunch on the summit. Bring a lunch, water, sunscreen, sturdy footwear, and layered clothing. It could be cool at the summit. We’ll meet at the entrance to Spruce Lodge in the main parking area at the end of the Sunapee Access Road off Rt. 103 in Newbury, NH. Meeting time: 11 a.m. NOTE: I'VE INCREASED THE PARTICIPANT LIMIT TO 18. (I'm unable to edit that field in the listing.) IF YOU'RE #1-8 ON THE WAITING LIST, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR EXTERNAL EMAIL ADDRESS. I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEND BULK EMAILS TO THE WAITLIST GROUP OTHERWISE. |
