Wheeler Mountain Hike & Celebration - NEK
Wheeler Mountain Hike & Celebration - NEK
August 2, 2025 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
It is predicted to be the first dry weekend in four months! Let's take advantage of it and celebrate!
I will lead this hike.....but I am a SLOTH - a sauntering lady! Do not expect to summit at a fast speed, slow and easy is the way I hike. If another GMC leader is willing to lead a second (and faster group), let me know. We will meet at the trail head parking lot on Wheeler Pond Road and leave promptly at 9:00. The aim will be to eat at the Eagle Rock and then return to the parking lot midafternoon. The temperature looks like it will be warm, so bring plenty of fluids and enjoy the day in the beautiful mountains of the Northeast Kingdom!
Let me know if you plan to join me by email (s.j.p.winsor@gmail.com).
