A little solo hike up Saddleback from The Garden yesterday. Trailhead says spring, but the peak’s still in winter with fresh snow. 14.3 miles, 3157 ft elevation gain, 9.5 hours.

@jarrod if it’s the same saddleback (Maine) I was up there 2 years ago. A confused moose had lugged it’s 1000lbs up the hill: https://outdoorfoo.wordpress.com/2023/10/01/great-views-you-have-to-work-for/

@jarrod summer, so maybe the moose was just looking for a cooler place to wear a big fur coat. Still, no water and you gotta eat s lot of berries to generate that many calories.

Your hike looked cool, literally.

I’ll be going up Mt Washington (New Hampshire) twice this year.
