| Morning hike from Speck Pond campsite. We considered visiting Mahoosuc Notch in the afternoon, but lightning surrounded us on Mahoosuc Arm and we retreated to camp. Naturally sunshine returned as soon as we reached the pond. | |

| What an amazing misty day. I had a great view from the ridge to the south. The summit was completely clouded in. It was fantastic though and peaceful without seeing anyone for the entire day. Loved all the fall colors, can't wait to go back and see the view from the top. | |

| Climbed via the Old Speck Trail from Grafton Notch. A great introductory hike to everything Maine has to offer. A steep and steady ascent from Grafton Notch led to great views from the summit tower. The only downside was the swarms of black flies swarming around the summit. | |

| bewencher | Old Speck Trail (Standard Route) Date Climbed: Jun 11, 2006 | |
| Despite the dreary weather, I honestly enjoyed this mountain. The waterfalls and slides along the trail made it worth it. Several points where I am sure that would be a great view. But, during our trip, all they did was show us what complete nothingness looked like! It was a good time. I expect that I will hike this one again once my NE4000 are done. | |

| Lots of snow on top and we had no snowshoes making the last quarter mile very difficult. An awesome mountain. | |
