New Hampshire, White Mountains,
NH
Join us for a hike to Mount Moriah (4,049'). The mountain is part of the Carter-Moriah Range and is one of the 48- 4,000 footers. We will be hiking via the Stony Brook Trail. The hike will be approximately 10 miles with elevation gain of 2,600'. We will be hiking at a moderate pace and we should complete the trip in around 7-8 hours. This is rated as Vigorous according the AMC's Trip Rating Criteria. The summit is above tree line and is quite exposed, offering panoramic, 360-degree views of the Presidential Range and the Carter-Moriah Range on a clear day. Participants should be in good physical condition and have winter hiking experience of similar mileage and elevation. While technically fall, you can expect there will be ice and snow on the trails so full winter gear including winter traction (micro-spikes and snowshoes) and above tree-line gear (balaclava and goggles) are required for this hike. A full gear list will be provided to confirmed participants on the hike. This hike is open to all that qualify and you do not have to be a member of AMC to participate. On-line registration is required and you can expect to be contacted for additional screening prior to confirmation. To address unforeseen challenges such as adverse weather, unacceptable trail conditions or excessive crowding, the planned trip destination, activity and/or meeting place and time may be modified. In that event, participants may elect to join in that activity or opt out.
