Marie and I signed up for the Moxham Mountain hike. The primary reason was because I wanted to see something that was new to me. It turned out to be a wonderful choice.
In the bus, on the way (picture taken through window), we had this view of the entire mountain. We were getting ready to hike from right to left up to the little hump, down into the saddle and then to to top of the hump with the sheer face.
Even part way up, we began to have nice views.
Part way up the little saddle, we could see the cliffs of the south side of Moxham. Yes, we are hiking to the top.
The trail got rockier, with a lot of our walking on ridges and rock outcrops.
Finally, we were at the top and were rewarded with this spectacular view! The existing North Country Trail is on the front ridge on the opposite side, with the Hudson River in the bottom of the valley.
Here is the lodge at the camp where the Celebration is being held. We have tents or bunkhouses for sleeping.
Last night we heard a talk by the Deputy Director of the Adirondack Mountain Club. It was very informative, and they are welcoming the NCT to the Adirondacks. Believe me, our trail would not be here without that acceptance.

You had some spectacular views on that hike.
Lulu: "Our Dada says that looks like a nice hike, and the bare rock at the top reminds him of Bald Mountain near Inlet! Whatever that is!"
