Mount Moriah | Stony Brook Sunset

by Willin Hiking Trips, New Hampshireon Posted on

Peak: Moriah
Trails: Stony Brook, Carter Moriah Trail
Mileage: 10.12
Elevation Gain: 3,182′
Weather: 78F, Humidity 54%, wind 5.5MPH
Ground Conditions: Dry, easy hops over the stream
Notes: A straight forward sunset hike up the brook trail! Met two others on the summit that were planning on staying out for a little star gazing. On the way down we bumped into a pair making their way up Moriah to wrap a Cats>Moriah day! Enjoyed nice color throughout most of the descent off the tip top. The batteries faded out on the primary headlamp on the way down. I was happy to fire up the second headlamp as opposed to doing a battery changeout. Excellent night for a trip like this. Looking forward to more!
