Hike to Cathedral Ledge 3/3/10

[Jimmy Legs and Little D]

We had a planned hike with fellow members of VFTT to Mount Moriah. But, after reading a trail report in which a group of hikers had lost the trail at 2500feet in deep snow, we cancelled that hike and just the two of us settled for Cathedral Ledge.

We bare booted the auto road to the fenced in viewpoint near the summit.

For minimal effort we had great views of:

Mount Washington Valley

Cathedral Ledge

Kearsarge

Ski area of Cranmore

North Moat with Red Ridge

White Ledge

Afterwards we drove over to the Northern trailhead of the Moats to check out the condition of the trail for a possible hike tomorrow.
We walked to Diana’s Bath

Where we saw this frozen sculpture.

Pretty good choice vs. Moriah based on those TRs. I wondered when you guys were headed up there for your winter trip. Wish we'd kept our original dates and gone last weekend ourselves - we might have run into you. We unfortunately opted for this weekend and have now bagged out plans with the impending rain, warmth and resultant slush. Yuck. Glad to see you guys made the best of the beautiful weather last weekend even if the trails weren't optimum.
