 | Comments: |
Trails were in pretty decent shape, all things considered. The Carter Notch Hut croo and/or the 19MB trail maintainers have done an amazing job cleaning up that trail. No issues at all, all the way up to the junction of Carter-Moriah.
From the junction to Mt. Hight, no issues either. Between Mt. Hight and South Carter is pretty gnarly. Lots of blowdowns (I'd guess about 20?) and they are not small. Had to get on hands and knees about half a dozen times to get under some of them. After South Carter, there were a few more blowdowns until you got to Moriah, but they are easy enough to get around. Coming down Carter-Moriah was adventurous with all the rock slabs, as most of them were at least partially wet. Some more blowdowns at the bottom of Carter-Moriah near the trailhead. |
