 | Comments: |
Perfect day on Mt. Moriah. Hard packed trail so wore Exospikes on the way up and Microspikes down and had no issues. Quite a few postholes but easily avoided. Spoke to the artist and trail maintainer Larry/Lost who had created a set of snow sculptures with Mt Washington and the Presis in the background. Less wind than expected on the summit, trail continuing on towards Stony Brook had one other set of footprints and the open expanses were beautiful and blustery. |
