Spruce Mountain is a 4.3 out-and-back trail with a 1,200 foot gain. The hike narrative can be found here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/vermont/spruce-mountain.

Dress appropirately, bring micro-spikes, warm clothing (fat, gloves, scarf etc), water as needed (this is not a long hike) and Fido.

After the hike (we should be done by 12:30), we'll head out to Barre for lunch and drinks.

We meet at 9:50 for a 10:00 sharp departure.

Bad weather cancels the hike and we'll meet for lunch directly instead.

For lunch, I'm planning on meeting at Mulligan's Irish Pub in Barre

For the hike, we meet at the trail head: https://www.google.com/maps?q=44.2349, -72.3777
For the restaurant, the address is Mulligan's Irish Pub 9 Maple Ave, Barre, VT 05641
