Sunday, January 27th was a beautiful clear winter day for my last hike this January. After hiking nearly 30 miles the day before, I didn't need to get that super early start with just Moosilauke on my plate for the day, number 27 of this winter. Despite what you might think, I wasn't really tired. For this report, its going to be short and sweet, just like the hike itself. I hiked up to the summit and back in my microspikes, didn't take many breaks along way, and I was back at my car in exactly three and half hours. Of the three and half hours, about 40-50 minutes was above treeline in sub-zero wind chills, BUT with unlimited visibility. It's always nice to get above treeline! (See below for the above tree-line and summit video!)
