 | Comments: |
The first part of the Moat Mountain Trail is gradual just past the bridge a bit then gets steeper with slippery leaves especially on the way down. Once on the ledge it was good footing as the conditions were dry up to the South Moat summit including Middle Moat and North Moat was good going as well. Great views from all three summits today and is well worth the hike even if you just go to the South Moat and back. Its my first hike since just finishing the 48th NH Highest recently and it felt great! |
