The Moose in June!

Image
By the looks of our calendars it is almost the official start to summer. I am more than ready to get back into my hiking without having to postpone or having to keep making rain dates! Yesterday was suppose to be the day where almost 30 people from mutual Facebook 4k footer groups would meet on the summit of Moosilauke. Many of us already having climbed this mountain and some who have never. With my unfortunate luck lately, my off weeks have consisted of rain, and lots of it. The best idea was to just reschedule for the better of the days. It was looking as if Sunday June 9th was it.  FIRST BRIDGE CROSSING I invited 2 of my friends to tag along on this hike with me. One who had never done it before and he needed to knock it off his list and another friend who just moved north who I haven't seen in a few months!  GREATEST TRAIL SIGN We hit the Beaver Brook Trail a little after 8:00am. I had only done Glencliff this past winter. When I looked at this trail o...

Huntington Ravine; DUN DUN DUN!

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."   I have finally hiked the one trail on Mount Washington I have been avoiding for a long time. Huntington Ravine. This trail, according to the AMC White Mountain Guide is the "Hardest trail in the White Mountains." Many, claim it to be incredibly difficult, dangerous, and essentially rock climbing without the ropes. The Mount Washington Observatory hosts their largest fundraiser in July every year for the last 15 years. This even is a hike-a-thon to raise money for the nonprofit, member supported MWOBS. I have participated in this event my first year working for them and now I am participating again this year. On July 18th, Trish, myself, Alex, Sage, Hugh, Josh, John, and Jeremy decided as a team we wanted to ascend Huntington Ravine for Seek the Peak. Most of us had yet to hike this trail and were all ready to see what the big talk was all about. ...

Owls Head #47/48 Completion

Image
Third time is a charm, as they say. For the last two years I have had 2 4k's left on my list. Owls Head and Carrigan. When I finish my list, I will no longer work on anymore lists specifically. Whatever mountain I choose to hike will strictly be based on how I feel that day, as it has been for the last two years. One of my biggest pet peeves about the 4k list, is how the moment I express to someone I have yet to complete the list, I am automatically pegged as an "inexperienced hiker." I wouldn't consider myself inexperienced by any means, nor anyone else because they haven't completed their 48 4k's. I have been hiking for almost 5 years and have hiked mountains that are more than double in elevation out west. I have hiked several incredibly long days, including my most recent Pemi Loop in 16 hours. These are types of hikes, an inexperienced hiker wouldn't normally attempt in one day. On that note, I have officially summited Owls Head. The one mount...
