The hike up Mt. Moosilauke was a wonderful experience. Since Dartmouth College owned the trials, they were in very good condition with nice bridge crossings and clear signing. The hike started off very easy with a nice river weaving around the trail. After about a mile and a half, there is a little beach with a sign saying “last know water”. From this point the hike got more and more challenging. After a scenic ridge I arrived at what I though was the top. From there trail went to a hill which marked the actual summit. There were wildflowers and cool grass fields on the bare peak of the summit. Also, there was stack and stacks of rocks that Dartmouth Students and climbers alike had stacked at the top. For Dartmouths orientation, all freshman take a hike up Moosilauke so it is a very popular destination. On my way down there was a flash storm for about 10 minutes where it rained extremely hard. It was a nice cool off after a satisfying hike.
