For this adventure, there are two different hike options to choose from. The start time for each hike is timed so that both groups can finish and meet up at around the same time at the West TH for fellowship and hot cocoa/hot apple cider and cookies (between 11:30 am and 12 noon).  Please note that traction devices for ice are probably no longer necessary.
