Thanks Midwest Ed! My personal style of hiking.....walk softly with the camera always at the ready

Thanks for the info. I'll be there 8/25 - 8/30 for my first time. Hope to see something!

Any recommendations on best areas on the east side to catch sight of moose and/or wolves?

With extra advice I have revised my plan. Tell me what you think, please.

Day #1 RH > Lane Cove
Day #2 Lane > Daisy (via Mt. Franklin and the fire tower)
Day #3 Daisy > Moskey
Day #4 Moskey > 3 mile or RH
Day #5 RH > Houghton

Thank you all for your help!

I appreciate you vets that have been there. Nothing beats experience! Still considering options. Scolville sounds like a must add as well as a ridge day hike. What 1 back side site should I looks at for sunsets? McCargoe? And is it worth reworking my 5 days to fit in or wait til next year?
