Lonesome Lake Hike with Mt. Cannon option

Details

Join us for a hike up around Lonesome Lake with an option to ascend Mt. Cannon.  We will meet at the Lafayette Campground and hike up the Lonesome Lake Trail to Lonesome Lake.  After reaching the lake, hikers can continue around the lake to the hut or hike further up the trail to Mt. Cannon depending on conditions or hiker preference.  Hikers will need microspikes and/or snowshoes depending on conditions.  An update will be sent out prior to the hike about trail conditions prior to the hike.  The hike up to Lonesome Lake (loop) is 3 miles with a 1000 foot elevation gain (2 hours).  The hike up to Cannon Mountain via Lonesome Lake is 5.7 miles with a 2400 foot elevation gain (4.5 hours).

After the hike, hikers are welcome to come over to my house in Sugar Hill NH for appetizers/ dinner & a games evening (Risk).  Hikers are welcome to stay over Friday and/or Saturday nights if desired.
