Comments
Comments: Three Ponds Trail, Carr Mt. Trail (end-to-end)

We spotted a car and started at the east end on the Three Ponds Trail. The
Carr Mt. Trail had increasing snow with elevation with 5" or so at the summit. Above about 2800' the snow obscured both icy slabs and deep mud pits so going was tedious. Snow cover wasn't consistent enough to enable use of spikes.
As always, a fun outing with Chris and Renee even in less than perfect conditions.
