Moosilauke and area lodging

Jul 19, 2001, 11:18 PM

Looking for info on 2 issues in this post:

1) Planning a trip with a group of friends the 2nd weekend in October (after Columbus day) to Mt Moosilauke, NH. Anyone have any insight to share on this mountain?

2) Looking for an affordable, no frills, cabin/cottage/condo in the Lincoln/ N. Woodstock region - with 30 min of Moosilauke. All I've unearthed so far are the luxury resort type places around Loon Mountain. Anyone know any hidden gems?
Will likely be about 8 people.

My wife and I climbed Moosilauke several years ago and found the hike to be challenging, yet rewarding. We ascended Moosilauke via the Beaver Brook Trail, which is located off of route 112 just passed Lost River Campground.

As far as finding cheap (inexpensive) lodging, there are several Motels/Cabins along route 3 in North Woodstock that look promising. You might try the Yellow pages on the web, or call the Chamber of Commerce for North Woodstock/Lincoln for some names and numbers.

As far as loding, have you looked here? Go to http://www.alpinezone.com/lodging/ Click on New Hampshire and select Lincoln from the town list and click Go. Parker's Motel seems pretty inexpensive...

Good luck and let us know how you hike goes!

RJ,

Is that "your" trip report or just a link you dug up? It's hilarious!!!!!

I think I'll opt for the "buffy" trail and please... give me directions to the Mexican Resto with the strawberry margaritas for after the hike '-)

Thanks for all the other info. Will continue on my quest!

That was my trip report. We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Waterville Valley called Chili Peppers. Take exit 28 off of route 93 and head east alone route 49. The restaurant is located at the lower level of town square. Enjoy!

Easiest trails up Moosilauke are from Ravine Lodge & The old Carriage Road from South. Carriage road according to some is kind of boring but more open so some views from trail & offers the nearly mile walk from South Peak to the main peak mainly out in the open. Northlander or Paquettes in Twin Mt, are recommended in area. Several in Lincoln & No. Woodstock area north of Loon crowds. Can't help with their names. (Twin Mt. might be a little to far north.

You can always stay at the Ravine Lodge, right on the mountain and just seconds away from the trails.

Visit here for all the details. It's $40/night with breakfast and dinner, so it's not a bad deal.

The Moosilauke trip is fast approaching...

We've found our lodging, and have decided on routes for our Oct. 13 hike.

Will be heading up Beaver Brook from Ravine Lodge, and returning via Carriage Rd. and Snapper trails.

Anyone have any experience on these routes?
