8 AM start on well-packed 19 Mile Brook Trail; one person's tracks ahead of us three on Carter Dome Trail for a bit. Once we broke our own trail, it was SLOW GOING. Sent the youngest to break 3/4 of the time. We two old guys turned around at 2 PM 4/10 of a mile below Zeta Pass. Young guy and a Canadian took turns breaking trail to Mount Hight and had LOVELY views of Mt Washington across the undercast. We were out by 5:30, they got out before 7 PM. |
