On Sunday, the wind above treeline in the White Mountains howled at 60 miles an hour with gusts over 100. Temperatures dropped to 16 degrees below zero, not including the windchill.
Roy Sanford, a 66-year-old man from Plymouth, Massachusetts, was overdue from a solo day hike on Mt. Moosilauke. As day turned to night, his family grew more and more concerned, officials with New Hampshire Fish and Game said.
Sanford told his family that he was going to go on “an up and back hike” up the Glencliff Trail, a three mile straight shot to the south peak of Moosilauke at 4,500 feet elevation. The north peak, with another 300 feet of elevation gain, sits less than a mile away across a ridge line. Sanford left early in the morning and intended to be back in time for dinner that night. When he didn’t return home, his family called the state police.
