After a hot, humid stretch to end the previous week, we had a very nice, sunny, tee-shirts & shorts kind of day for a walk up to Mt Moriah. This peak is the northern most one on the east side of Pinkham Notch. We took the Stony Brook trail up from rte 16 to its upper end at the Carter-Moriah trail, which runs up from Carter Dome and the Carters to Moriah. Continuing on the C-M trail, we passed over numerous open ledges, with great views to the east and southeast. Just before the trail peaks at the tiny side spur to the actual summit, there is a steep hands-on climb. Below, ascending this "nice little feature," are (bottom-up) Chris, Donna, Dave, and Charlie.
The views from the open ledge at the summit provide nice views southeast across the notch to Washington and the northern presidentials, south along the Carter peaks, east into Maine, and the closer neighbor Shelburne Moriah. Below, at the summit, are the six of us: Donna, Chris, Dick, Charlie, Dave, and Jolie.
