  • I played hooky and went to NH to hike the Beaver Brook Trail to Mt Moosilauke! I was supposed to stay in CT and hike the New England trail but, yet again, it decided to rain and I am done with hiking in the rain for a bit so I ran to the White Mountains in New Hampshire and hiked Mount Moosilauke.

    Oh my, running away...yup, gotta do what ya gotta do to chase the sunshine! Fabulous cascades for sure...my place for a cup of tea! Snow!? Noooooo.... lol Gorgeous summit for sure! I wonder how affective that sign is...that psychology would only want me to prove it wrong. Great adventuring! Have an awesome week...Bruce and Otis

      @ConnecticutBackcountry  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you Larry! The trail up and down wasn't crowded at all. I think I saw 3 up and 3 down scattered but the top was probably 15+ people all huddled around the foundation hiding from the wind. There are a few ways up so I would have to guess they came up one of those ways.

    Hi.
    Enjoyed this video - thanks!
    I'm hoping to visit this area one day and hike up:
    1. Mt. Moosilauke
    2. Franconia Ridge
    Question: Have you done Franonia Ridge? If so, is it possible to do it as a day hike, up-and-back?
    As a long-time hiker, I appreciate your channel, look forward to more videos.

    • @ConnecticutBackcountry
      @ConnecticutBackcountry  Рік тому

      Ken, hello and thank you! I haven’t hiked Franconia ridge but plan to eventually. If you are looking for a peak bagging loop, I believe there is a 16ish mile loop that could theoretically be done in a day by someone in good shape. I would plan a stay after the hike though. I’m pretty sure there is a mapped hike that covers Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty and Flume. You could potentially make use on an AMC hut or what not to camp for an overnight baring in mind that the AMC and RMC charge for some of the platforms and huts up there.
      I’d be interested to hear about your trip should you do it.
      All the best, Gary.
