We all doused ourselves with bug spray before we went up and before we came down. Bugs didn't seem to be a bother so long as you were moving. Spent a nice amount of time on the summit. Lots of moths out at night swarming our headlamps. |

Great hike with the AMC Young Members Chapter. Went up the Snapper trail to South Peak which had great views and then headed the last mile or so over to the summit of moosilauke very windy up top there but great views of the sunset. Headed back down the Gorge Brook trail for the majority in the dark. A great hike overall. |
