Hike Leaders Needed!
We are in desperate need of volunteer hike leaders. The only GMC requirement to lead a hike is that you are an active member. If you are new to leading hikes we ask that you are familiar with the hike you are leading. Please consider leading us on your favorite hike.
Contact Outings Coordinator Susan Winsor for more information.

Monadnock Trailhead Closed
Please be advised:
The trail closure on Monadnock Mountain remains in effect. There's still a "NO TRESPASSING" sign on the gate at the gravel pit, although it is easily overlooked when the gate is open. The continued presence of an old trailhead parking sign at this location only adds to the confusion over its status, but a person working at the gravel pit confirmed to me that this trail is still closed.
As some of you may be aware, there is an alternative route that avoids the gravel pit, but I wouldn't recommend using it at this time. It follows a private right of way that encroaches on a nearby dwelling. While this property isn't posted, its owner has expressed no interest in encouraging public access to their land. Please respect this choice and find another mountain to hike for now. Thank you!
