Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Carter-Moriah Trail
Route: Old Stony Brook Trail, Stony Brook Trail, Carter-Moriah Trail, (Mt. Moriah), Carter-Moriah Trail, Imp Shelter Spur, Carter-Moriah Trail, Stony Brook Trail, old Stony Brook Trail
Stretches of trail were dry, however there were plenty of stretches of mud. Rime ice on above 3600 feet. Some black ice on roots and bog bridging, but not enough to justify Microspikes. One annoying mud bog about halfway across the ridge.

The old Stony Brook Trail trailhead
Looking at fog from Mt. Moriah
Directions to trailhead: Take Route 16 North from Pinkham Notch. The Stony Brook parking area will be on the right, at the beginning of Mt. Carter Road. To reach the old Stony Brook Trail, not posted as of fall 2012, continue on foot up Mt. Carter Road, eventually bearing left onto a straight grassy road. The old Stony Brook Trail starts at the end of that road, adjacent to some boulders.
