After finals, instead of going home like a normal person, I decided to go cabinhopping, the Dartmouth outing club's winter hiking and camping trip. The trip looked like it was stacked to be a blast, and sure enough it was. Four summits, ten miles of hiking each day, and enough ice to keep everyone on their toes was a blast and I had the chance to meet a new group of people that I might have never met. We started off in the skiway parking lot.
We hiked to the summit of Smarts, Cube, and Mist, then conquered Mousalake with a combination of grit and, of course, singing every tune that popped into our heads.
Between hikes, we got to know each other over good food, ghost stories, and plenty of card games. I couldn't have asked for a better stress buster after an intense finals week!
