Mount Moosilauke and South Peak Loop

Old Carriage Road

Start your descent down this wide old carriage road but watch for the next POI on the track and the trail sign for "Snapper ski trail" that will bring you back to the Ravine Lodge Trailhead. The picture here is the ascent up South Peak from this junction, the other is looking down the carriage road in summer.

Summit of Moosilauke

You are at the top of this massive dome of a mountain. There is a large cairn marking the summit and you may be able to discern the foundation of an old summit hotel. From here you are going to descend to the South Peak and then head down the Old Carraige Road to the Snap trail back to the Trailhead. If you brought skis, click in because this is where the fun starts!

First view

South Peak

This peak is too close to the main peak and doesn't have enough vertical above the col to be considered a separate 4,000 footer but it is still worth the short walk to the top to check it out. Walk back to where the carriage road starts down and get ready for an awesome ski descent/long walk down.

Snapper Ski Trail Exit

At this junction get off the Carriage road onto the Snapper ski trail going into the thicker woods (narrower trail) to bring you back to the Ravine Lodge Trailhead. If you keep following the road by accident you may end up far from your vehicle.
