Hike and Hawkwatch at Pack Monadnock

Saturday, October 26, 2024, 9 AM - 3 PM

Nate Marchessault: nmarchessault@antioch.edu

Meet: Miller State Park lower lot @ 9AM (GPS directions)

We will hike up to the summit where we will spend several hours hawkwatching before heading back down. Pack a lunch and plenty of fluids! Foliage should be about peak for our moderately steep, 1.4-mile hike up the Marion Davis Trail and return via the more gradual Wapack Trail. Alternatively, participants can drive up and meet us at the hawkwatch around 10:30. A trail map for the State Park can be found here. There is a $4 per person fee for entering the park, and reservations are recommended if driving to the summit.
