Total Distance: 6.8

Trip Report: Great Day! About 55 degrees at the bottom with 25 mph winds and no bugs. Trails were dry except for the stream crossings which were not bad at all for this time of year. About 40 degrees right below south peak with 35 mph winds. Meaning a near 30 degree wind chill. A little chilly but not bad.

Nice day over all, with great views!

Moosilauke is a favorite mountain of ours to visit. Was it busy or the usual weekend crowd?

It was not overly busy, the lot at the bottom of glen cliff was full, but on the way up and down I probably only saw 10 people in total. It did not seem very busy for a memorial day weekend!

great hike, moosilauke is a favorite among many people. the last time i hiked it, two years ago, was one of the best hikes i have ever done. the day was so clear, it seemed as if i could see into the adirondacks. ok, maybe not that fat, but far.

Thanks, Ya it is a great hike! I would really like to ski it sometime next winter. I think it would be a fun ski, especially with lots of snow!

Mr. Metsky knows just about every square inch of Moosilauke, hiking or skiing. I know he's out of town this weekend but he'll be the person to ping about skiing it in the winter.
