Moose Mountain slide

[adkeditor]

Anybody have GPS coordinates or really good directions for getting to the base of the major slide on Moose Mountain in the McKenzie Range?

PM Neil, like everything else, I think he's done some research on it.

Phil,

This is a slide I've been hoping to do for a few years now. Met you with some friends on the Soda Range last year.

Is this the one on the side opposite the one that faces placid?

[adkeditor]

It's the prominent slide visible on the drive from Saranac Lake to Bloomingdale, so, yes, on the other side of the range from Lake Placid. I found it once but was unable to find it the next time I tried.

btw, I got a PM from Neil, who says he will reply on Friday.

PeakBgr, were you with Spencer Morrissey?

[Peakbagr]

Yep, was with Spencer, Brian, Dick, Jo, Barbara, and our Lab, Boo.
We corresponded when "The Other 54" came out.

Here's a couple of pics taken from highway 3 directly across from and about 4 miles from the slide.

I guess I thought that slide (seen in the pics, from route 86) was the Kilbourn slide? No? This is a different slide?

Different slide.....

Anyone know what the apporoach is like?

Judging from the location, the colors in the pictures and the map. I'd say, it's a fairly nice 3.5-4 miles, predominantly level walk among the beeches to get there. I might be up for it.
