Approaching thunderstorms on June 21st prevented us from summiting South Moat, but we made another, more successful attempt on June 28th, walking in mizzle and dense fog. We're told that there are amazing views both from the ridge and from the summit, but alas, the fog was too thick for us to see them.
It is a very pleasant path, with a short (1/4 mile long) talus slope and a moderate incline. No rock scrambling.
On the way back down, we stopped to find two "Moat Mountain Challenge" geocaches (#4 and #6), supplementing the two we'd found the weekend before.
5.4 miles, ~2,200' elevation gain
Summit: South Moat Mountain = 2,770 feet
Route: Moat Mountain Trail from Dugway Road
