Osceola Hike - Sunday October 17th.

Hikers,

The club is hiking Mount Osceola on Sunday, October 17th. We're leaving school at 7:00 am. from the junior lot and heading North!

We'll be accessing Mount Osceola from Tripoli Rd, right off I-93. We will be hiking to the summit of Osceola only and not including the additional hike to East.

Osceola is a 4300 ft mountain, with an ascent of about 2500 feet from the trailhead off Tripoli Rd. The weather is slated to be quite nice on Sunday, but students should still be sure to bring a wind-breaker as it will be cooler and more windy at the summit. Hikers should layer so that they are warm. Synthetic base layer and some fleece are great to have. No cotton!

Additional gear should include a few bottles of water, a few granola bars, and perhaps a winter hat and gloves in case we spend any time on the summit. As always, stiff soled shoes are good to have.

If you haven't already done so remember to bring a permission slip with you!
