 | Comments: |
This morning was an amazing day to hike Mount Moosilauke to catch the sunrise. It was clear, warm, and minimal wind. The trails were in decent shape for springtime. The lower portion of Gorge Brook Trail alternated between an icy monorail and dirt/mud. At higher elevations, the trail is packed snow and ice. Near and at the summit, there are slippery rocks and ice. Microspikes were used for better traction for majority of the trail. Heading to South Peak, Carraige Road Trail was solid. Carraige Road Trail to Snapper Trail had old postholes, but were easily avoidable. Snapper Trail was a combination of monorail, ice, and mud. We were back at the gate for 9 a.m. |
