Here is a photo of a moose cow and its calf on Success Pond lumber road at the end of the hike. (credit Paul Makus) On this hike we encountered 16 hikers (11 in the rain traversing the Mahoosuc Notch itself with their goal of Speck Pond, I sympathized that after all those twists and turns in the notch that they still had a 1600 foot climb up Mahoosuc Arm in the rain to a wet campsite, not envious!). Also met LEAF a section hiker going from PA all the way to the Big K.
