Moosilauke Peak
<Japanese version is after English:日本語は英語の後にあります>
Another day hiking in White Mountains, New Hampshire. This time we did Moosilauke Peak.
9.17 mile loop with 2625 feet elevation gain. Started via Gorge Brook trail, then Snapper trail, Carriage trail, Beaver Brook trail, and Asquam trail.
From top
On a sunny day with good view. The good thing about is unique view at the top. Usually top of the summit in White Mountains are very rocky and windy. Moosilauke top is in the meadow area and looking down more meadow below, then trees below. It was nice to sit on the meadow and eat lunch with view. If you are familiar with northeast, you know how rare it is to sit on meadow in general. I had never imagined such thing in California. Now it is kind of funny how hard it is to find a hills with meadow. Terrain is completely different between East and Western coast.
I am getting to know more and more about various parts of United States. Sometimes people tell me I explore more America than Americans.
Another fun part of this hike was this mountain is very dog-friendly. We saw sooooo many dogs. I pet several doggies. They are so cute. Looks they were enjoyed hiking as much as getting attention from many hikers. These two pictures below were taken near summit and each has a dog. Can you find?
At the top, a hiker was complaining about her hiking friend's schedule. Her friend asked her, "Why do you go hiking on Saturday and Sunday? It is crowded."
She complained, "He says so, but I have job, no choice!"
