On an exceptionally steep trail, yet it was a good day to be out in the mountains. Hiking Moosilauke never gets old.
It was a long day, and it was a wet day. But it was fulfilling type II fun, with the gift of lady slippers at the end. North and South Twin are hard, but very rewarding.

It was a long, challenging hike, but rewarding, and with great views of nearby mountains.
