Ideas for Group Trips for Spring/Summer




From our meeting of Jan 18, here are a few of the suggested group trips we could do beginning in about April:

  • REAL EASY:
  • - anything "flat" on the Seacoast like Odiorne Point, Fort Foster, etc.
EASY:
- Pawtuckaway park in Raymond; has a couple very small mountains, one with fire tower.
- Blue Job Mtn. in Strafford NH - a 15- to 30-minute climb. Has a fire tower.
- Mt. Agamenticus in York ME - 30- to 45-minute climb. Can also drive up. Not us, though, of course.

MEDIUM-ISH
- Mt. Major - Alton Bay NH - easy to get to. Great Winnipesaukee view. Climb in 45 to, say, 90 or 120 minutes.
- Mt. Willard at north end of Crawford Notch. 45 to 90 minutes to climb; about like Mt. Major. Spectacular view of notch. Close to 2 hours from Dover to drive there.

TOUGHER THAN MEDIUM-ISH:
- Kinsmans and Lonesome Lake, just south of Cannon.
- Moosilauke
- anything in the presidentials starting from east side of Crawford Notch and heading east or north
- Franconia Ridge - Liberty / Flume / Haystack / Lincoln / Lafayette
- Cannon
- Chocorua
-

OK, others, add to this list with a reply to this post!
(still learning how to do the postings . . . )
