Trip Report/Photos

We had a stunning clear, cold, calm day for our hike to the summit of Moriah! Amazing views and incredibly blue sky all day contrasted against the snow. Trail was partly packed, though the higher we got the more useful it was to have some snow shoes leading the way. Temp was forecast in the single digits, with almost no wind.
