Return trip to the Carters with my crew since they all needed to hit up Middle And South Carter. Not having to hike up Carter Dome and having much better snowy conditions made the hike seem much easier. The trails were all a beautiful snowshoe path that will set up nicely for future hikers except the portion of Carter Moriah from middle to north Carter trail which we tree our best to smooth out the deep post holes two dudes were creating as we crossed paths. Two friends of ours caught up to our group on descent and I think we all much improved the North Carter and Imp portions. There is a lot of deep snow in this range . The signs are all low to the ground and the snow is powdery in the woods. Snowshoes are the only appropriate option for the Carters. The cutoff to camp Dodge was not busted out in the usual route but it got us there regardless. Just be aware if heading up that way, you might need to break out the usual route. It will require snowshoes too. |
