| you won't be going up beaver brook from the ravine lodge. the gorge brook trail (not beaver brook) starts from the ravine lodge...however, beaver brook is the most exciting and hardest route up the mountain. it starts from kinsman's notch over on rt 112...if you are staying at the ravine lodge and have two cars, i'd suggest driving to the beaver brook trailhead...going up that way and down gorge brook back to the ravine lodge...beaver brook is a great, but tough trail..the cascades there are fantastic for cooling off...if it's raining though you might not want that route...if you want anymore info, send me an email, i've been there countless times... |

| As GP pointed out, Not Beaver Brook & likely Gorge Brook. If there are any common loops on Moosilauke, this is it. Sounds like you are pretty much ready to hike. Where did you decide to stay? If uneasy about providing those details, afterwards, please post here so we know to recommend or steer others away. Is it a place from the lodging section here? |

| Whoops! Busted.... Gorge Brook is correct... Although we are a large group and there are a couple people who are in a lot better shape than the rest of us (an ex-eco challenge competitor among them) - so I'm thinking of suggesting they take the longer ridge trail/beaver brook up to the summit - give them more of a challenge and less time waiting for the slowpokes to get to the top  I looked at the lodging here - but needed something *bigger* - we have 11 people for the weekend. I managed to find a 4 bedroom condo (complete with fireplace, 2 TV VCR, sauna, jacuzzi, and access to indoor pool) in Lincoln. The once managed by the condo rental places were going for ~700, but this one is being rented out by private owners - so only $400+ tx! Will report back on that (and the hike) once the weekend is over! Heck, with jacuzzi and fireplace, it'll probably take all of 3 raindrops to keep us from hiking! Hope I have a hike to report on. |

| I found the place on http://www.cyberrentals.com, which has homes/ condos/ chalets and other real estate available for rent directly from homeowners and some rental agencies. Listed geographically. All sizes and price ranges available. More details on the way in e-mail. |

| Well, the Moosilauke Adventure finally came! I want to thank you all for your great info and advice on the area. The trip was an absolute success. I organized the weekend for 10 friends. We had 70+ degree weather and sunny! Just enough of a breeze to require light fleece while stopping for lunch, and baking hot out of the wind. Couldn't have asked for a better day. As planned, came up Gorge Brook and crossed to SOuth Peak, then down the Carriage Rd to Snapper trail. A couple people took the longer Asquam ridge route to the summit. By all accounts, both routes were worthwhile. I really enjoyed Gorge Brook. Never too steep, good footing all along, pleasant stream, then many viewpoints. What more could we want? The was a "dogwalking hiking club" out for the day... at one point, we were overtaken by a herd of about a dozen Labs, poodles, Australian Ridgebacks, Bassets, Shepherds, etc... Quite unusual! Carriage Road from South Peak wasn't the most pleasant descent (OK it was downright unpleasant) but the phenomenal trails up to that point made up for it. And we went back to a great rented condo with views of the Loon Mountain area and had a wonderful dinner with wine and sat by the fire all evening. Perfect weekend! Expect photos shortly. Hopefully some will live up to the day! |
