Comments
Comments: 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.
