 | Comments: |
Only saw one person on the trail today. Mostly smooth sailing up to Zeta Pass. Everything is mostly covered by snow. Some open, wet, muddy patches on Nineteen Mile Brook Trail. One huge pit in the trail ascending. I think it was on the Carter Dome Trail after Nineteen Mile Brook Trail leaves on the right. Can be avoided by going left. Minor nuisance. Carter Dome Trail trench was mostly filled in by drifted snow after Zeta Pass. Smashed in a trench to the summit. Suspect this will drift over again or be filled in by the next snow. Highly suggest snowshoes at least for the upper part.
Had fun. Came home alive. Live to hike another day. |
