| Comments: |
We couldn't agree on which trail to take so we split the difference and went up Carter-Moriah and down Carter-Moriah/Stony Brook (spotted a car). I have decided that I do not like CM Trail up to Moriah. Stony Brook is way better. Both trails are hard packed and either bare-bootable or spike-able for now :) Sunny and blue skies in the morning gave way to clouds and snow but not until we were almost back to the car. Another great day out! |
