Regina ammonoosuc ravine trail

9, 10 and 11 of 48 New Hampshire 4,000 Footers: it is fair to say that the time has come… to start climbing baby! Now with that said, arguably turned out to be slightly premature, depends on who you’re talking to. What does this mean?! Simply snow. Precisely snow packs, deep ones, ones that without any knowledge of it happening, suddenly give way, and next thing you know your leg has fallen though right down to top of thigh, and to add salt to misery, many times ones foot would be submersed in running water under the damn snowpacks… man, what an experience. Naturally did not shy away from challenging myself. Albeit once hitting the summit for Mount Jim, earned myself a fresh pair of socks, traction devices. Both helped tremendously, easing the remaining ascent to Moosilauke. And when you summit Moosilauke, it is incredible. Crazy rock scramble stair way to summit, 360 degree views for miles, and that was in partly cloudy conditions! Amazing, worth the challenge. Lastly, some basics, parking is plentiful however on busier side when arriving late morning, kiosks are placed intermittently throughout this space, trail markers present, some worn and torn, definitely recommend AllTrails on these hikes. Overall great start to the season of 4,000 footers!
