Mt. Moosilauke

Cascade waterfalls throughout the hike followed the trail.


On the way up on Beaver Brook Trail.

Yesterday dad and I climbed Mt. Moosilauke. We took the Beaver Brook Trail up which is actually a route the Appalachian trail hikers take, and saw many hikers up here from Georgia and Kentucky!! 
We saw the sign below when we were starting out and thought, ha! No worries. But it was quite steep! and a severe thunderstorm stopped us from summiting .5 a mile away from the top :( 

Warning sign.
We got soaked from head to toe on the way down. My waterproof rain coat turned out to be not very waterproof! Our pants and shirts stuck to our bodies and I was cherishing the fact that my trusty hiking shoes were bone dry until I spoke a moment too soon. By the time we reached the parking lot they were sopping wet, too!

The best view we got since we turned around before summiting.
But we had already hiked a different trail up Mt. Moosilauke before and know what the summit looks like anyways!
