| Water Crossing Notes: |
LOTS of water and swamp/bog crossings. The muddy areas had decent rocks to hop; the bigger water crossings were easy |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Moriah Brook Trail above the gorge was in poor/awful shape, probably b/c it's in a wilderness area. Many blow-downs - lots are HUGE. Many bog bridges were mostly rotted - lots of people seem to be walking way around these and other muddy areas, which is creating a lot of erosion. Markings are obscure in places. |

| Comments: |
Lower sections of Moriah Brook were beautiful - LOTS of swimming holes - sadly I didn't have time for a dip!!!! Upper sections - I got off trail in a few spots as the water crossings confused me (I'm easily confused :)). Did not enjoy the mud in the upper portions. Sank a boot completely. Good views - great hike!!! |
