A great hike with great views! We swam in the smaller Carter Lake, and the little fish that live in the lake nibble off the dead skin on your feet, legs, back, ect. They even bit off a hang nail on my dad’s hand (ouch!!). Just beware that there are underwater rocks that you can stub your toe/cut yourself on.
We also climbed Mt. Hight first BEFORE Carter Dome, and we got to go down the Carter Moriah Trail. I highly recommend this way of hiking it, because you don’t have to hike up the steep trail to Carter Dome from the hut.
We got some great views even though it was supposed to thunderstorm, but it didn’t!
I hope you have fun hiking this mountain!
(And enjoy the fish????????????!!!!!) |
