Mt. Monadnock

Are you a woman over 40 who is looking to get in shape, enjoy the outdoors, make connections with like- minded women, or just want to spend time outdoors with other fun, hiking companions? Well, look no further! Choose from 10 different days where I will lead a group of women to the top of Monadnock for a fun-filled, challenging day hike. We will spend about 4-5 hours together and enjoy our lunches at the summit.

Mt. Monadnock or Grand Monadnock as it is sometimes called, is a 3,165ft peak in Cheshire County. Many people use it as a training ground for hiking the 4000’ers in the White Mountains. The top of Monadnock is wide open, providing expansive views. It has been featured in the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau! The word Monadnock is derived from an Abenaki word used to describe a mountain. We will take the Marlboro Trail on the west side of the mountain, which will allow us to summit in 2.2 miles.

Are you safety minded? Me too! I have summited Monadnock over 35 times and have over 10 years of experience hiking in the White Mountains. I am CPR, First Aid and Wilderness First Aid certified. I also have a Hike Safe NH card and a Garmin InReach.

Do you feel out of shape or not in climbing condition? I’ve been there too! Follow my 4 week training plan. If you faithfully adhere to my plan, you should be able to summit Mt. Monadnock in 4 weeks. Hikes start at 9am unless otherwise noted. Contact me for more details.
