 | Comments: |
Bare booted Nineteen Mile Brook Trail to Carter Dome Trail. About 25% of this trail has melted out. Spikes went on at Carter Dome Trail and stayed on for Carter Moriah Trail over Hight, Carter Dome, South Carter and Middle Carter. Until about noon, the trails were frozen and supportive. Carter Dome Trail was mostly boot tracked with most boot and snowshoe holes only a few inches deep. No major postholes. Carter Moriah Trail is relatively smooth since most recent hikers wore snowshoes. Snowshoes went on just before the North Carter Trail junction and stayed on until the snow ran out on lower Imp. North Carter Trail is a frozen snowshoe track, and a bit rough. Imp was softening and smoother in the afternoon up high. Several sections of trail (stream) were snowless with 2 or 3 feet of snow on the banks. So, expect to do some bypassing through the woods around these areas. The lower half mile of Imp is snow free. |
