Mount Moriah

Carter Moriah Trail

Wow, what an amazing Spring day on the mountain! Saw nothing but overcast skies driving through Franconia Notch, but the forecast called for clear skies in the morning. Things got better by the time I reached the trailhead. It was warm, I only needed two light Patagonia layers the whole day. The summit was glorious, bright sunshine and no wind (It felt like 50 degrees up there). After having the summit to myself for about an hour, I reluctantly headed back down. By now the snow on the trails was getting pretty sloppy and snowshoes were a necessity unless you like postholing!

Another group had built a snowman near one of the outlooks, so I stopped to add an addition to the "family" The snow was perfect for building snowmen!
