Note: For complete trail descriptions, times, elevation, trailhead directions, and major features, see the AMC White Mountain Guide.

Profile
A part of the Carter-Moriah Range, Mount Moriah (4,049 ft.), boasts a ledgy summit with views of the surrounding area.

Suggested Routes
Strenuous: Fine views are to be had en route and at the summit by approaching Moriah via the Stony Brook Trail; from there, turn northeast onto the Carter-Moriah Trail to access the summit, 1.4 miles away.

Trip Planning
The AMC’s Imp Campsite is located 2.1 miles southeast of Moriah’s summit on the Imp Shelter spur trail, just off the Carter-Moriah trail.

Safety
The AMC recommends all hikers check weather conditions in advance, carry a current map and guidebook, along with a compass and knowledge of how to use it. For recommendations on how to plan a safe hike in the White Mountains, see: The 10 essentials for a safe and pleasant hike.
