Free Guided Hike to the Great Gulf and Peabody West Areas of NH's Presidential Range
WHAT: Join Standing Trees for a guided hike on the Great Gulf trail at the foot of the Presidential Range near Gorham, NH. RSVP for updates and the exact location.
WHEN: Saturday August 2 at 10am. Rain Date August 3.
MORE INFO: The Great Gulf Trail is a stunning and high reward hike into White Mountain National Forest history, ecology, and current management issues. For the first mile, we'll follow the gently undulating trail across and along the West Branch of the Peabody River, enjoying the spectacular and rare old-growth forest along this wild-and-scenic eligible river. The next mile and a half climbs gradually, then steeply up to Prospect Rock and a gorgeous view of the Great Gulf and the Presidential Range. The total elevation gain is 933 ft, and the round trip distance is 5 miles. We will pause along the way to enjoy the scenery and to discuss the WMNF's planned timber harvest in this beautiful old forest, which Standing Trees litigated in March of this year.
Please reach out to cgish@standingtrees.org with any questions — dress for the weather and hope to see you there!
