If conditions must be attempted, the clearest window is Saturday evening into early Sunday morning as high pressure briefly builds and precipitation tapers. An early morning start Sunday — before the secondary low arrives and convective activity develops Sunday afternoon — offers the best opportunity. Avoid Sunday afternoon and Sunday night entirely due to the incoming mixed precipitation and storm threat. Conditions may improve Monday as the system clears.

“I knew if I didn’t get out today I was leaving a chance my grid would end on Moriah next May… so I figured I had to try and see if the rain held back. I talked Ann into coming thankfully so I had some good company. Stoney brook is such a pretty trail and way less used! It was raining when we left, and thankfully the trees kept us mostly dry. We started in rain jackets but pretty soon I was in my shortsleeve shirt. We only saw 2 backpackers coming down and 2 up on the ridge. The rain stopped just after 10 and we hit the AT around 11ish when it started back up. It was a little windy on the slabs which thankfully made them stay dry going up. It started actually raining right before the summit, which the summit almost blew us off! We quickly went down and kept the rainjackets on for the rest of the trip down. The slabs were a little slow going down with them now being wet but we made it safely. We made quick time on stoney brook after a brownie and a cookie and before we knew it we were back to the lot! Only 1 peak left for the grid and thankfully in a few months!”
Trail: Carter Moriah Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“I had forgotten how unrelenting this trail is! It lulls you into a false sense of security at the beginning - gentle slopes and beautiful forest, then BAM! You hit the ledges that last longer than I remembered. At least they are grippy, although I wouldn't want to try them when they are wet. Then comes the PUDS and more steep trail. Worth it for the view at the top though.”

“It was an amazing weekend to backpack the wildcat carter moriah traverse. The only snow i encountered was between carter dome and hight. Otherwise there was wet rock slab and running water on trail. I had the imp campsite all to myself. No traction was needed.”
