Location: Meet at the Mt Morgan Trailhead off of Route 113 across from the popular Rattlesnake trailhead parking lot.

This Week's Program: Join the SLA this November for the Squam Range Hiking Series where throughout the month we'll hike all 7 of the peaks along the Squam Range. This is a wonderful opportunity to check off trails listed on the Squam Ranger list.

Squam Rangers are a dedicated group of hikers who have conquered 50 miles of trails in the Squam Watershed. Proceeds from this program support the SLA's annual trail maintenance efforts. For $50 you'll receive the Squam Ranger kit that includes a t-shirt, trail guide & map, trail log and a day pack. After hiking all 50 trails you'll be presented with a Squam Ranger patch, baseball cap, and a certificate.

On this 5.1 mile loop hike we will scramble over rock faces, climb ladders, go through caves and summit Mt Morgan and Mt Percival. We'll enjoy lunch with a spectacular view of Squam Lake before descending down.

What to Bring: Come prepared with weather-appropriate hiking gear (lots of layers, rain gear, and extra socks/shirts/hats/etc.), lunch, snack, and water. Trekking poles are also great to have and if you'd like to borrow a set, we'll have some available.

Audience: This hike is considered by many to be challenging. You must be comfortable with heights and rock scrambling. Hikers should be experienced and capable of hiking 1.5 miles per hour on steep terrain, have good balance, and be steady on their feet. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Registration: Space is limited to 6 people. Registration required. Register at https://www.squamlakes.org/node/220.
