 | Comments: |
I started up Imp Trail, across Carter-Moriah Trail over Mid and South Carter, and down 19 Mile Brook Trail.
The first signs of snow show up about 3800 feet. It quickly becomes post holes everywhere on Imp Trail (some 2 feet deep). From there to Mid Carter summit is deep decaying monorail. Between Mid Carter and South the trail has less snow and less monorail issues (but not none). |
