The final SOTA hike of 2021 will be to Kidder Mountain on November 6th.  The summit is reached via a 3.2 mi trail that starts from route 123 (turnpike rd.) Just a short drive from the center of New Ipswich. Windblown cross-country ski trails are on the left side of the road. Our trail follows the route of the Wapack trail which crosses the road from the left and then heads towards Kidder on the right-hand side of the road. Plan to meet at the parking area at 10:00 and we’ll head up from there.

Trail reports are talking about the trail being muddy so hiking boots are highly recommended. Also, make sure to have a fleece jacket and shell to keep the wind off of you.

Please reply in the comments section if you’re coming so I know how many people to expect.

Hope to see you there!
