The GF and I are now planning on heading up to my home in the NEK and are planning on doing some hiking up there. This has not been a good summer in between the rain and bugs.
We are thinking the following:
1. Moosilauke via Benton trail (north approach). I did it in 2000 and it was a nice hike. Anyone been up there lately?
2. Jefferson via Caps Ridge (I believe...) from parking lot in Jefferson Gap to the summit and back. Short hike, but more elevation. I did this in 1998 (I'm dating myself). Have you done this lately?
We did Lafayette on Memorial Day weekend and it was great. NO bugs and good weather.
Our big concern right now (crazy as it sounds):
How are the bugs and are the trails damaged from the rain?
Thanks for your input!
