 | Comments: |
Leaves on the trail may obscure underlying rocks and roots. Although there is some wetness on ledges, there are enough dry surfaces to permit safe passage. From South Moat to North Moat there are long stretches of open ledge with great views and beautiful spruce forests in the cols. Panoramic views from all summits. Visibility was exceptionally clear today. |
