The first mile or so, basically surrounding Diana's Bath, was massively wet and muddy.
Super flat start, pretty rad gain after though! Only really went out to Middle Moat to grab that section of Moat Mountain Trail- however it didn't add too much onto this loop. Two light scrambles on the way up North Moat (going from Red Ridge, towards Attitash Trail), but they weren't horrible. Just confusing on where to put my trekking poles lol!
There was a snake choking on a toad right before i dipped back below tree line on Moat Mountain Trail but it was NASTY. If you want to see it its in the link though LOL. |
