Join us for an intermediate hike to Mt. Roberts [2582’] in Moultonborough, NH. We’ll be taking the attractive and relatively easy Mt. Roberts Trail except for two steep sections. The trail passes over numerous open ledges with excellent views over to Lake Winnipesauke and its surrounding mountains. The hike will be 5.5 miles roundtrip with an elevation gain of 1,300 feet.

We’ll have lunch on the summit to enjoy the northern views of Mt. Chocorua, Mt. Washington, Whiteface, Passaconaway, Tripyramids and much more!  We’ll meet at 10AM at Shannon Pond, the center of a trail network in the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area. All we’ll need MicroSpikes since the trail is well packed with some icy spots.  

For the hike we recommend wearing insulated hiking boots since the snow melt will get into boots making your feet cold. Don't forget to wear layers [NO COTTON OR BLUE JEANS], gloves, warm hat, water, lunch, snacks, etc.

Please stay home if you are sick or have been around anyone sick.
