 | Comments: |
Hike up to Mount Surprise was easy. Fairly dry trail.
Heading up to Mount Moriah, the slabs to climb up were a mix of wet and dry - all can be done, just require a little caution in spots. One of the bog bridges on the longer stretch of bridges was sunken in the mud.
There’s a white sign on a tree pointing to the summit of Mount Moriah off the Carter-Moriah Trail. Look for it and the summit is just a quick walk away. We were lucky enough to get some great 360 degree views at the summit before the clouds really rolled in this morning. |
