| Comments: |
The trails made for an easy going hike up Mt Moriah. Much of the distance on the Stony Brook trail has few rocks so it was great footing. The Carter-Moriah trail has many ledges that are good for hiking in dry conditions. I consider the ledges on the north approach to Mt Moriah from Bangor Street more challenging. Very little mud on the trails today. No obstructions on the trail.
Views were limited somewhat due to the low cloud ceiling over the Presidential Range. Many hikers on the trails including AT thru hikers, many day hikers, and some staying overnight at Imp Shelter. |
