My sister and I hiked hiked up Moriah on Saturday and wow....what a perfect day to be out, especially after being homebound last weekend by the rain! We headed out just after 8 up the Carter-Moriah Trail. The trail at the beginning was a mix of hard ice, some bare spots and snow...it was still early enough so everything was still solid. Just before the summit of Mt Suprise we started to post hole a bit so we put on our snowshoes, which we wore for the remainder of the trip.
Heading onward and upward over the ledges we took our time.....the views today were incredible! After going over many false summits we finally reached the summit where we stayed and lounged around for about and hour and a half.
By the time we started going down the sun had really warmed things up and the trail had softened up quite a bit. Just before the ledges we met up with a fellow VFTT'r, Rols...nice to meet you! Another group had also been making their way up, but it did not appear as though they had snowshoes as the trail now had many, many postholes.
Overall it was a great day to be out....still winter conditions up in the higher elevations though! Here are some pictures of our trip.
