Description

There is a striking north-south ridge to the east of Lebanon and Hanover New Hampshire. When I first moved to the Upper Valley and looked at a topo map to see what fun could be had, I immediately noticed the sharp ridge feature, and looked for trails on it. The Appalachian Trail follows this ridge from South Moose peak north to the end of the ridge at Goose Pond Rd, but I couldn't find any trails on the even sharper, more distinct south Moose Ridge. A couple of years ago, I saw that a buddy had BIKED this section of the ridge, and asked him about it.

Description

To the south of the small mountain town Baños Morales and at the entrance to the Valdés valley, this beautiful hill is located, witness to the tragedy of 1965, when a LanChile 404 plane crashed into the Valdés hill. This sad event is commemorated by a plaque left by the Bus Association of the Puente Alto-Santiago line.
