- We get our first taste of the mountains to come with our summit of Mt Moosilauke. Not only is it a sample of how steep the climbs and ascents will be but also how beautiful the hikes will be!

New growth on the pines.
Sarcastic comment regarding the bear hang was noted.
Jay and Tina are my favorite hikers this season! I tune in Everyday
Pocket Rocket is quite the navigator. She always looks ahead. Jay, you would do well to trust her. You both have legs of steel and great lungs. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Kentucky
Spectacular pictures,thanks so much for sharing your journey
You are very lucky to have great weather... so many AT thru hiker videos show significant rain and wind and cold at the summit of the "moose". Enjoy the Whites... one of our favorite places on earth.
Nice alpine. Like the steep decent. Cute DogWood garland around the trail rock.
Hey Jay, enjoying your videos. I did Mt. Moosilauke SB due to the grades. Too steep downhill the way you went. Also stayed at the same motel as you. Good luck in the next about 350 miles. As they say when you enter NH. You've gone 80% of the way, but you have only done 60% of the work.
I think the vivid blue skies and the puffy clouds are more amazing than the actual views…love it
The little white flowers with green leaves that you said looked liked they’d been planted around the boulder are groundcover dogwood. Look at them….they look just like the dogwood flowers of cornus Florida.
It's so cool to watch the scenery and compare to what Aquaman filmed and hiked back in January. Beautiful area!
The light-colored tips on the spruce and fir is this year's new growth.
Being from Maine though, I don't recall seeing orange on spruce before. That was something else.
The green reminded me of an early moss and green jacket camouflage video. Quite a climb it looked like. Walk on!
The ranger at Mt Greylock said his brother works on Mt Moosilauke (sp?) and they wave to each other everyday. Great story for the kids.
Lite colored tips are new growth on evergreens
That was a beast of a climb. I've heard it's known for that though. The downhill would be much tougher on me, but you two crushed it. You would at the end of the 'Kanc', the Kancamangus Highway in Lincoln. It's a very pretty area. June would show lady slippers around there that are rare but a beautiful pink color with some other rarer white and even rarer yellow ones. I'm blown away with both of your stamina to tackle these ascents and descents. Awesome job indeed. Stay safe my friends.
Flowers at 13:09 are bunchberry, which, believe it or not, is a kind of dogwood. Love the Star moss.
Good video with lots of beautiful views, nice water fall, some bad rocky climb, so let's keep on hiking.. great job over 1800 miles ..
Remember -- when you are above tree line --- you are essentially way up in Canada (weatherwise) and it can snow -- or at least be close to freezing any time bad weather blows in from the west. Hike safe and be nice to Tina.
Jay and Tina, so looking forward to your trip through the Whites and the presidential range.
The pine trees were fascinating. In Georgia we have many varieties of pines yet I’ve never seen the ones in your video today . Quite lovely.
Something I’ve noted w my own feet as I age….you loose the fat pads on the bottom…less anatomical cushion. I’ve been buying shoes a half size bigger and putting an inexpensive thin but cushier insole under the Superfeet. So far that’s helped w pain on the underside of my heels and across the underside of the balls of my feet. I change them out every couple weeks…may not help for everyone or w every type of shoe but I’ve been able to call a truce w my own paws. I know there are shoes out there that are built w extra cushioning to begin with, but I’m stubbornly clinging to the same brand I’ve loved for 25 yrs. (That stubborn streak is what got me into long distance hiking to begin w…can’t throw a ball, can’t run fast, can’t make a basket…but I can walk. Add a good helping of stubborn and a long distance backpacker is born!)
Jay! Your smiling face is in Darwin’s latest video! Great to see you living life to the fullest. Keep having fun!
The white flowers in the alpine meadow looked like Labrador Tea. Common above the treeline in the north east and apparently edible.
Beautiful views. 1800 oh my, congratulations. You are going to be done soon. Amazing pictures of you and Tina at rhe end.🌻🌻
Gorgeous views! So lucky to experience together! NH is very special place to hike.
What a beautiful view.
I didn't get a good look at the woodland flowers around that rock. But if they were the same as you pictured at the end.vl think they were Cornus Canadensis. In the dogwood family.
Awesome video, thanks Jay and Tina. Yup, micro spikes and snow shoes.
Really enjoyed the time lapse, felt like I was there 🙏🏼💕
Bravo...nice climb and decent
Awesome been looking forward to this part of your trip!! Its getting so beautiful the further North you get the trail gets crazier too lol
Congratulations on 1800 👊🌟🙂
Hi Jay and Tina 👋 Thank you, awesome views, hope you're doing well, appreciate you my friends, stay safe and take care ✌️ 🙏
Oh, welcome up to alpine heights! Its great having the views all around and seeing the alpine plants up there. I bet you would enjoy the Swedish alps, or fjäll as we call them, as well as the kings trail.
Beautiful video today! 😊 Mt
Great hike today! 😊 Beautiful scenery, beautiful flowers ,beautiful Star moss, just perfect! You both did great!! 👏👏👏👏 So glad you got your new shoes Jay!! Congratulations on 1,800.1 miles. 🎈🎉 Enjoy your zero!
Get some rest and take care of your toe!! 😊🏕🇺🇸😎🌼🌸
Stunning scenery.
The marks are also from microspikes. I went down to Beaver Brook this past winter and it was solid ice pretty
Your photographs at the end are absolutely beautiful! I love the close ups of the trees and flowers. Amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Sweet pics, incredible time lapse!
Glad that "The Moose" gave you great views. My last trip up it was clear on South Peak and I got great footage of cloud movement, but by the time we got to North Peak it was completely socked in. I can get pretty crowded up there in nice weather for sure. But Beaver Brook is infamous for it's difficulty because of how steep it is and because of the stream. It gets SUPER slippery. One of my goals for this winter is a winter summit of The Moose, up Beaver Brook.
A lot of the scratches you're seeing on the rocks are from crampons or microspikes from winter ascents. Not just from trekking poles.
You're in my playground, enjoy. The Beaver Brook trail is very steep and hard. I summited Mount Moosilauke from this trail. If you can do this trail your good to go. I gonna love the next week.
Thank you for the wonderful pictures and the great scenery pictures that you took! I am from Massachusetts and have hiked a couple of the 4,000 ft in New Hampshire but not mount musselak. Enjoy New Hampshire! It is gorgeous!
Hi Jay (and Tina), what a great section to hike. Unbelievable views all around....you guys are doing great....Won't be long and you'll both be climbing Mount Katahdin! Safe travels!
My green thumbed husband said that the 2 colored pine trees: the lighter tips were the new growth, they'll change to become the same color
As you continue through the Whites, keep your eyes open for Grey Jays. they are a medium sized bird that is grey and white. They are scavengers and they are used to people. If they are around, you can put peanuts in your hand and they will eat directly from your hand.
My guess on the scratches is micro-spikes. snow shoes and crampons.
And you wonder why there are bear problems. 🐻
"Perfect bear hang". Lol. Said so dry...
For a little while there it looked like you were climbing Mt. Fuji! I did an online challenge last summer to climb it virtually (on my ski machine) and I looked at every inch of the mountain on Streetview for an immersive experience lol. Parts of the trail today totally looked like it!
Leaving in early March for AT NoBo Jay. Enjoy watching you two. When you give the day number, is that total since you left including zeros or just days you are hiking?
Total including zeroes and time off trail
👋🏻
Great reminder that how you use your foot can respond to training. It follows that almost noone should be relying on their shoes for so-called support. We have feet that are marvels of evolutionary engineering instead of peg-legs for a reason, let them work!
Another reason alpine plants are so short is because of the wind. Taller flowers would be blown over.
Beautiful scenery, makes me want to go there for summer vacation... Hows the temps up there ? More moderate than what we're getting now in New York ?
Jay - your foot pain + wear pattern on your shoes indicate you are over-correcting your pronation, likely because you add super feet orthotics to your shoes.
My suggestion (from a lifelong runner and someone who has worked in the running shoe industry for years) - those Asics aren’t the best quality. I’m not saying all Asics are bad, but they make different tiers of shoes, and those are in a lower tier. The price point you should be looking at is ~$120. Buy higher quality shoes, ditch the super feet.
😂 Potty talk. You guys ma!e me laugh.I do enjoy that northern rugged trail but looks difficult to navigate, especially downward. Nice trekking. Hopefully this gets easier from experience the further you hike.
Oh my, what a magnificent sky view from My. Moosalauke. According to most people those rocks were supposed to end at the N.J. border. WTF. 🤔
And people say Pennsylvania is rocky. What is it we are seeing here?
Perfect for a 🐻 Bear Just shimmy the tree and the bears got dinner
👍👍✋✋👏👏😊😊🥾
My opinion, shoes are junk these days like most plastic s@#t. $ 120.00 for junk . I still go to Super Shoes and get the least expensive yet most comfortable pair. I try them on. I've had success with that.
I agree. 🌻
@S M are they the ones I've seen that are made from recycled materials That support the environment and the local economy. Love that concept.
That used to work for me but as I’ve gotten older my feet have decided not to cooperate with my ideas. I shell out the 💰 so I can keep going.
