SUMMARY: Get to know fellow sustaining members! Dinner afterwards in Newbury. We will hike the Newbury Trail to the summit of Mount Sunapee, elevation 2,726 feet. Mount Sunapee shows off the far northern mountains and nearby Lake Sunapee! It’s part of the Mount Sunapee State Park and is a great out-and-back challenge for intermediate hikers. We’ll ascend using the Newbury Trail, check out Eagles Nest, with a fine view across Lake Sunapee; and the White Ledges above Lake Solitude with a fine panorama before reaching the summit with more views. It's been quite a while since we've had a hike to this summit. And as you can see, the views are terrific! Trail Specifics: • Roundtrip Length – 5.8 Miles • Elevation Gain – 1,850 Feet • Expected Time – 3 to 4 hours You need to have the hiking capability to complete this hike. If you do not have this skill level, then please sign-up for our easier hikes. Make sure to bring gear for an early winter hike. Gloves, hats, raingear are all mandatory. You should be prepared with wicking layers and wear NO COTTON. Afterwards, we'll find a restaurant in Newbury for an early dinner. |
