Mount Moriah

Trail: Stony Brook Trail, Carter-Moriah Trail

Conditions: Snow - Spring Snow

“Spring conditions. My feet got very wet even before I basically had to wade through the stream at the end of the day. If I were doing Moriah any time soon I wouldn't choose Sony Brook.”

“A blissful microspike excursion all the way. Super firm and icy down low, packed trench the rest of the way with 1/2” fluff on top. Could switch to snowshoes with televators after the first couple miles if that’s your jam. Stayed cold enough today to keep a firm trail. Lightning Bug went barepaws down low and switched to booties after getting into 1/2” fluff layer. Cheers!”

“Someone pinch me because my snowshoes went for a free ride today, so this must be a dream. I can't tell you the last hike where I didn't need them. Obviously this report will self-destruct after tonight and tomorrow's weather but holy cow, what lovely trail conditions. Down low the snow is kind of granular and there are some icy stretches. Up higher it's just a packed super highway of almost holy and sacred proportions. I mean, even the steeps were doable ascending and descending UPRIGHT, in good spikes. I kept waiting for the trail conditions to change so I needed the shoes, and it just never happened. I hope the rain just solidifies the base and it stays this good. Just wow!”
