A fantastic day to do a Moats Almost Traverse with Mike. They're in his front yard, so to speak, so he's hiking them! Ascended past Diana's Bath to Red Ridge Trail. A great trail that gets you out in the open fairly quickly, and gains elevation fairly consistently along its length. Moat Mountain Trail was a lot of fun, especially without snow, and the steeps were nice up to North Moat. We continued along to Middle and South, taking in the 360 degree views, and made a quick exit, running at times, down to the car.
Start at 7:54, end at 1:54. Glad to get out there and kill it on the trail with you Mike, it's been too long!
Blog post soon. |
