We'll meet at 8 am on Thursday at the Gale River trailhead, carspot and drive to the North Twin Trail lot.

This is a strenuous day hike of 12 miles with an elevation gain of 3900'. Winter gear, face masks, gloves, etc essential. Lots of wind and views on South Twin!

Looking forward to it.

Oh, and I'll bring the oatmeal raisinette cookies for some good trail energy.

Don't forget the treats for Ghostdog! Hey Magic, I thought you hated the Gale River Trail. :roll: Don't forget the other outlook on North Twin. You'll be able to see where we sat on Garfield for three hours. Enjoy the day guys!

I Don't mind descending it. It's the climb up that isn't my favorite. I'd rather climb up to North Twin.

I wish I could go, but I've got one more followup commitment this Saturday as best man for my friends who just got married.

I'm going through mountain withdrawal!!!

LoL! I'm still in the "becoming a boyfriend" stage right now. :D

Next weekend I hope to hike. I'm supposed to join a friend on her 48th, though, and don't know the final plans for that yet. Hopefully I will soon.

I believe I can hike during the week with a group! I'm looking for lotsa views and a day of fun! Let's go on a hike!!

How about hiking during the beginning of the week, mid week, and on the weekends. What more could anyone want? Anyone/everyone want to join in? I hike in most conditions!

Moriah via AT either Thursday or Friday

I'm considering hiking Moriah via the AT either thurs or fri if anyone is interested. I was going to consult the forecast before I made a concrete decision. I think the hike is around 6-8 miles RT. I 'm at work, so I don't have my collection of trail maps available.

If it looks like rain I won't go this time of year. Too much danger of hypothermia.

The AT is the long way up Moriah. You're thinking Rattle River to Kenduskeag to the summit? That's a long haul, at least I thought. You may enjoy going up Stony Brook (which I've also done) more.

Ah- nevermind. You're section-hiking. I understand, that's how I ended up on that trail myself!
:D
