Event Information
About this event
This hike is one in a series of hikes I'm organizing that's designed to help people prepare for an adventure getaway I'm leading for the Franconia Ridge Loop October 4-6, whose rigorously challenging trails are rewarded with some of the most breathtakingly mountain vistas in all of New England!
Each hike leading up to our Franconia trek gets progressively more challenging, allowing new hikers to gain strength and confidence over time while making new friends and connecting with nature. Activities are free with suggested donation.
