This trip is a combination of Hatha yoga and hiking nearby mountains. Both days, we start at 7 am with an hour of yoga, eat breakfast at the Highland Center Lodge at Crawford Notch. By 9 am, we head to the trails.
The first day, we start across the street from the Highland Center and hike up Mount Pierce ( elev. 4310'), over to the Mitzpah Spring Hut (elev. 3800'), down a bit and over to Mount Jackson (elev. 4052'). A pretty heavy duty day, doing two 4000 footers, but at the end of the day we feel good.
The second day, we hike Mt. Willard, with an elevation gain of 900', starting at 9 am and back to the lodge by noon.
The hikes were between 5-7 miles. 2 nights lodging at Shapleigh bunk house (at Highland Center), 2 breakfasts, happy hour and Saturday dinner at Fabyan's, a local restaurant. The servings are huge, you won't leave hungry. Fabyan's is very good and the waitress was very accommodating.
Hiking boots are a necessity, as well as, non-cotton socks and waterproof pants and jacket, hat and gloves or mittens for the chance of colder weather.
