Crossings werent memorable but the water on the trail after the last junction up to the water by the hut was obnoxious. It was a warm morning and we were breaking through the snow and more than one foot got wet. |

There are blowdowns but this is not a surprise. Lots of heavily laden trees bending into the trail with their snow. |

Kali had a great time! The trail up to the dome was snow not ice like I thought it may be. |

 | Comments: |
Small group of four and one dog headed up to bag three Winter peaks. The going up 19 Mile Brook Trail wasnt too bad, after the second junction over to the hut area got rough. Breaking through snow and slow going. Once on the Carter-Moriah snowshoes were added for televators and the going got easier. Great day out with friends, old and new! |
