The ridge walk from Webster to Jackson gains about 350 feet of elevation spread over 1.4 miles. ROUTE: Webster Jackson trail, Webster Cliff trail and back onto Webster Jackson trail. STATS: Approx. 6.5 miles; Elevation gain: 2550 feet We will be hiking in winter conditions at a moderate pace with time to enjoy the scenery. There will be ice and snow. Light tracking devices are mandatory and we may need snowshoes if there was a recent snowstorm. Light traction can be either Kahtoola MicroSpikes or Hillsounds Crampons that can purchased from your local outdoor outfitter such as REI or EMS; or online. If you don’t own a pair of snowshoes, you can always rent them from your local outdoor gear shop.
