Comments
Comments: Not much snow -- zero at road, a few inches at junction with North Carter Trail. Hiked the loop N to S (clockwise). Donned microspikes at about 2800 feet on the ascent, wore them to about 2500 feet on the descent. Quite a bit of ice, especially at stream/streamlet crossings between Imp Face and North Carter Trail.
