Meeting Time: 8:30 AM

Max # People: 10

Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money

Difficulty Level: Moderate

I've never done this hike and I'm not a particularly experienced hiker. That being said, AllTrails (see hike) has the following information: 

• Length: 4.4 Miles (loop)
• Elevation Gain: 1,781 feet
• Average Time: ~3 hours
• Conditions: Using 11/2 as a reference (it's the farthest date out that AllTrails has weather predictions for), the weather looks like it may be ~30 degrees at the start of the hike and ~45 degrees at the end of the hike.
• Parking: $5 self-pay parking lot. It seems this lot often fills up and people then end up parking alongside the road.
• Bathrooms: There are bathrooms at the trail head / parking lot area.

For the start time, I chose 8:30am. I am flexible on this if people join and want to align on a different time. Whatever the final agreed upon time is, just note that we'll plan on having a max 15-minute wait time for anyone running late.

Directions: I'm going to just follow my GPS using the location listed on AllTrails (link). However, if you prefer written directions, here ya go:

Directions from Intersection of SRs 175 & 49, NH: Travel east on SR 49 about 4.5 miles and turn left on Upper Mad River Road. Travel a short distance and turn right onto Orris Road. Follow Orris Road for .6 mile taking a right at the fork into a small parking lot. Trail begins there.
