"Still avoiding water crossings, we worked on another need of Molly's. So we hiked up Moriah up the Carter Moriah Tr. We had views from Mt Surprise on the way up. We reached the summit and saw some grey jays. Coming back down, the Presis's had some clouds about them from Mt Surprise. We also saw a guy making snow sculptures with his hand saw. It was pretty neat. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 20, 2022

"Peanut joined me. Lots of blowdowns on Highwater and Moriah Brook. Spots where trail has been washed out. A lot of water crossings along the way. Moriah Brook was buggy and exposed to sun a lot of the way. A lot of snow between Moriah and Rattle River Trail." — doloressoule • May 16, 2021

"After a late morning dentist appointment, I went up to Moriah to pick up a Grid gain. I went up Stoney Brook Tr for a change of scenery and because I could be on the trail sooner. Some rotting monorail along the AT near the summit. Nice views today. 10 miles" — newenglandwarrior • May 13, 2021

"Did the "Loop" trail. Started at 7 am on Bangor Street trail head, and came out to Stoney Brook Trail head at 2:30. MANY stops on the way to take pictures and see the beautiful views as well!!!!" — Bucky • Oct 10, 2020

"A rather cold trip to the top of Moriah today. 17 deg at the bottom, 7 at the top plus a cruel wind made it a little inhospitable on the summit. Too bad as the bright blue skies were stunning and views for miles in every direction. Good look out from Surprise's ledges. Trail was in excellent shape, snowshoes door to door. Except snowmobilers have ripped apart the trail from the 1 mile to 2 mile mark." — Alohabuffy • Jan 20, 2020

"The temperature was great and the summit beautiful! We had no trouble finding parking on Bangor Street at 9:00am, but could tell right away we were in for a buggy climb (no surprise, it being Memorial Day weekend in the White Mountains). I had frequented a few weather and trail report websites for a week or two leading up to our climb, and therefore knew to pack some microspikes just in case we came upon some snow. And we did (no surprise... it being Memorial Day weekend in the White Mountains). The first third of the trail had moderate grades and easy footing, but was very buggy. The next third was mostly comprised of ledges to shinny over, a few nice views, and more bugs. The final third was bugless (finally!), the one benefit to having to suddenly navigate through/over a mile and a half of crumbling monorail. Lunch at the summit helped to lessen the blow and keep us from developing a poor opinion of what is clearly a beautiful mountain. I would definitely be interested in hiking Moriah again under slightly better conditions (e.g. minus the frighteningly unstable snow pack and the gang of thousands of black flies that followed and attacked us)." — gooner • May 25, 2019

"Put 1 Bangor Rd. in the GPS but no sign of trail head. Drove down rte. 2 until I saw a bunch of through-hikers. Asked one for directions to the Moriah Trail, offered her a ride. Dropped her off but discovered it was the wrong trail. Headed back to Bangor Rd. and saw two through-hikers hitching. Picked them up and dropped them off at a hotel, then found the correct trail. Met lots of nice people hiking. Worried about the time (started at 1300) so raced down from the peak. Got to my car at 1940." — NHClimber • Jul 21, 2018

"Headed out with Curran to snag this peak for March. Well packed, recent trail work done as well. A gorgeous day with blue bird skies...just a bit cold with some wind....warmer than the projected -35 with wind...I would say it was right around 0 to -10. " — shay-shay • Mar 19, 2018

"Went up Moriah today. Out and back up Carter Moriah Tr. Saw a couple of ladies rocking some cool NY patches. They were from NY and NJ working on there NE111. Took a pic of one their packs. Great views today. 9 miles." — newenglandwarrior • Oct 28, 2017

"Learned that the trail was broken out yesterday, so I decided to hike this mountain. Had a few drifts that I had to push through, but the hike overall wasn't bad. Drove up to Carabassett Valley, ME that night. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 17, 2017
