Parked in Passaconaway Rd lot

The Albany Covered Bridge is open which is the west turnoff from the Kanc onto Passaconaway (Dugway) Rd so this was nice and save me some time from going all the way around.

Started at 8:40
Hit South Moat around 10:30
Awesome peak
Many false peaks towards the top where you thought you were close to the summit and then more ups!
A fun climb with many ledge areas and good views opening up.
The walk from South to Middle is also fun and like a ridge-walk out in the open
Went the extra mile to the Red Ridge junction ... thought about grabbing North Moat but decided would get that on another hike with that loop with Red Ridge
4.3 miles at this point and then doubled it back for 8.6 miles
Back at the car at 2:55
Great day to be out on any trails today and was very impressed with the Moats and so glad I got to finally hike them today!
