The trail was very easy to follow. some of the mud was frozen. The early signs that winter is coming. It was my first time hiking up Wildcat ridge to Wildcat E. The Trai up was in great shape. Sheep. The views of the sunset pouring off Washington were amazing. Was dealing with wind the whole day at higher elevations. The Ridge walk was fine. Going down Wildcat A was fun. Went to Carter Hotch hut for the first time the caretakers were extremely friendly. The hike up to Carter Dome was excellent we were in the sun the whole time so no complaints there. The Carters were fantastic. Loved everything until I reached South Carter. Just lost all power in my legs and couldn't make the full traverse to Moriah. Bailed out down North Carter trail and caught Imp. Be extra causes of the leaves coverings the rock. |
