 | Comments: |
Out-and-back to Carter Dome, loop over South and Middle Carter. Still significant snow at elevation. Deep post holes, near buried trail signs, and knee high or lower blazes. Used snowshoes for most of the hike from approximately 3000 ft. elevation. Otherwise bare-booted. Zeta Pass to Carter Dome, between the Carter-Moriah split to Mount Hight is a bit of a side-hill and an ankle-roller. The Carter-Moriah Trail from Zeta Pass to the North Carter Trail is in decent shape and really nice today. Worst conditions are on the Imp Trail below the junction of the North Carter Trail. Basically a stream running in the trail, open water, and unstable monorail.
Maybe 15 cars in the parking lot at 1:00 a.m. |
