Next Hike:
June 12 – Moderate – Low’s Bald Spot (2,875 ft.), Pinkham Notch, NH. 4.4 mi RT with 950 ft. of elevation gain. RT hiking 4.5 hours. RT driving 2.5 hours
Meet at the church at 8:30 am.
It’s about a 75 minute drive from Denmark to trailhead. Greg is leading so assume we’ll leave Denmarki at 8:32 am and arrive at the trailhead at 9:47 am.
For those new potential hikers who are considering coming along with us, we should note that there is only one church in Denmark. It is adjacent to the town offices.
The other thing we might point out is that Denmark has little or no cell phone coverage at the town offices or at the church. They do have cheaper gas at Jim Bob’s.
Year round hiking for sure: but there’s a limit. If the forecast is really bad, hikes may be cancelled or postponed. Ideally cancellations will be announced by Thursday evening . Schedule changes, when necessary, will be announced via email to website subscribers
