Windham High Peak – January 31, 2015

Posted on January 31, 2015 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20150131WHP-WinterFinish-021s400We hiked Windham High Peak on a sub-zero day. Fortunately it was very sunny with a nice snowshoe track and beautiful views. For D, it was his first winter high peak. Continue reading→

Hunter Mountain – Leavitt – January 25, 2015

Posted on January 25, 2015 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20150125_163044s400A day after leading a hike for the Catskill 3500 club, we relaxed by hiking Leavitt (aka Southwest Hunter) and Hunter Mountain. Finding the can on Leavitt was a piece of cake with a nice track already worn along the main herd path on an old rail bed. It wasn’t really fair to call it a bush whack on this day.

Fir and Big Indian – January 24, 2015

Posted on January 24, 2015 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20150124_113735s400Connie and Ed co-led a bushwhack of Fir and Big Indian mountains for the Catskill 3500 Club as part of their annual winter weekend. We had a large group of 12. A few inches of snow the day before made for great snowshoeing and picture postcard scenes despite the cloudy skies.

Friday and Balsam Cap – January 3, 2015

Posted on January 3, 2015 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports


20150103_124638-Friday-BCs400Three of us hiked Friday and Balsam Cap on a snowy winter day. Not every day can be a bluebird day, but there is something special about a bushwhack in softly falling snow.

Gray, Skylight and Marcy – October 12, 2014

Posted on October 12, 2014 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20141012GraySkylightMarcy-072s400I led our small group on a hike of Gray, Skylight and Marcy starting and ending at the Adirondack Loj. We did a loop of sorts via Lake Arnold / Feldspar up to Four Corners over Marcy and back to the Loj via Van Hoevenberg.

The weather was fantastic, although the trails were icy in spots above about 4000 feet. Continue reading→

Bushwhack Range Plus Two – October 5, 2014

Posted on October 5, 2014 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20141005_125706s400This hike was a great workout and a nice dry run for hiking “the nine” one day, not to mention bagging 6 separate peaks for those who were working a list. The route was a through hike and we spotted cars at Moon Haw and Peekamoose Roads. The weather for this hike was beautiful, especially compared to the prior day when I had hiked Rusk in the rain with a friend. Continue reading→

Mt Moosilauke – August 30, 2014

Posted on August 30, 2014 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20140830MoosilaukeNH4K-finish-035s400

This was a great day for a hike to an open summit. Two of our group passed on the hike after one of them developed a bad blister the day before, but they thoughtfully met us at the trailhead at the end of the hike with some refreshments from a local brewery that they had just toured.

The rest of us (8) started from the Beaver Brook trailhead on Rte. 112 hoping for a scenic and less traveled route on the busy Labor Day weekend. Beaver Brook was a success on both counts. Continue reading→

Owls Head – July 20, 2014

Posted on July 20, 2014 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20140720OwlsHead-037s400A smaller group of 6 hiked Owl’s Head from Lincoln Woods on day three of our White Mountains trip while the others opted for a relaxing day down in the valley.  Owl’s Head is the longest standard route to one of the New Hampshire 4000 footers, although we did cut a couple of miles off and avoid a tricky water crossing by bushwhacking both ways near Black Pond.

The Hancocks – July 19, 2014

Posted on July 19, 2014 by EdMoran Posted in Trip Reports

20140719Hancocks-054s400Day 2 of our Whites trip featured a circuit of the Hancocks (Mount Hancock and South Hancock). The weather was a little more humid and not as clear as the previous day in the Tripyramids, but remained dry and was still a nice day to hike.
