Today's adventure took us to Mount Moriah which sits at 4,049'. Moriah is also another long drive at about 3 hours each way. Thankfully we only have a couple more of these mountains that sit at the far end of Pinkham Notch. The trailhead for Moriah also sits at the end of a dead-end residential street with very little parking and houses with signs stating not to park on their property.
Very little parking at the trailhead
The trailhead
From the start the trail was icy
The snow was packed down well at the lower elevations
First view of the Presidential Range

Summit of Mount Moriah 4,049'
USGS Marker for Moriah
Another summit view
Summit brews!
There was still a lot of snow at the higher elevations
This sign would normally be about chest high, as you can
see it was at ground level
The temps got to about 50 degrees which made the descent rough
as the snow was very soft. Even with snowshoes you would post hole
Some bare booters were ahead of us. This is what happens
when you don't wear snowshoes. It destroys the trail/monorail
Take in the final view before descending into the trees
