Trails Used

Glencliff, Spur trail

Trail Conditions

Notes

Seconding what earlier poster Marshall said. Always a great trail. Given posts earlier this week I expected more snow. Just a tiny remnant of snow on South Spur trail and totally avoidable patches around the 2.5 mi mark. One of our party was having a bad day snd it got cloudy when we summited South so we did not venture over to the main Moose today.

Parking

Arrived at 10:15 am, so did many others

Water Crossings

Low and easy

Wildlife

No-see-ems until past the Brook crossings when it got drier and winds picked up. Met one black fly today

Notes

beautiful day on Moosilauke. Nothing too eventful on Glencliff trail. Start to see so very spotty snow and ice patches around 4000ft and a few larger snow patches between the peaks but I would imagine these will be gone pretty soon. Some areas of mud here and there and some flowing water too but nothing deep enough that it warrants any concern. Flies are bad down low but went away with a few hundred feet of elevation gain. Still spotty leaf coverage so sunscreen was the tactic.

Parking

lot was basically full by 10:30

Water Crossings

all water areas were easily hoppable

Wildlife

flies are bad low down but do away after you gain some elevation
