NOTE: UPDATED TO REFLECT CHANGE IN TRAILS/TRAILHEAD FOR THE HIKE
Join us for a hike to Mount Mossilauke with beautiful views at the summit, This will be a full day hike. Total distance is approx. 7 miles (round trip), approx. 3308ft elevation gain.
We will meet at the Glencliff Trailhead, GPS: High St, Benton, NH
Will we take the Glencilff Trail then to the Carriage Rd Trail to the summit. We will return the same way.

There was a great suggestion from another GO member for an alternative route; Glencliff to Carriage Rd (approx. 7.5 miles), out and back, less miles than previous route and avoids the tedious extra 3 mile road walk. Glencliff is 800ft more in elevation gain so it will be more of a workout, but hopefully we finish sooner.

According to the (closed) Moosilauke Ravine Lodge: Winter Access Road - Parking for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing is available halfway up the access road in the designated spaces. Only head-in, angled parking is permitted, and others may be towed. Which is a tad confusing to me since Ravine Road is a long hard packed (but not paved road) that everyone parks along one side parallel to the road. I guess we shall find out!
Just a side note, ravine road is probably closed this time of the year. (100% after thought) However use the same address for your GPS, and there seems to be a parking lot about a half mile down the road. This will be adding 1.5 miles each way to the trip, making it more of a 10mi hike.... make sure you have a head lamp with you, as we maybe getting back to the cars in the dark.
Hikers can stay at my house near Franconia NH on Fri and or Sat nights if desired. Email me to RSVP or for directions.
