South Moat Mountain

About

South Moat Mountain is a summit of 2,767 feet in the Saco Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest, about 4 miles from North Conway, New Hampshire. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station put July highs around 75°F with lows near 53°F, while the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. Tent Boulder Trail is about a mile away, and Moat Mineral Site Trail is just beyond it. Climbers can head to Cliff Boulders, about 1.3 miles off, and Covered Bridge campground lies about 2.2 miles away.
