Saturday was a great day to be out! Took Nineteen Mile Brook to Carter Notch Hut, then up Carter Moriah to Carter Dome and Mount Hight before coming back down the Carter Moriah Trail. Folks were ice skating near Carter Notch. Went back and forth between a dusting, mud, wet, and ice until about 0.4 ish miles from the hut, then a solid coating with ice underneath in many spots. Put spikes on at 0.4 ish miles before the hut and kept them on until we hit Nine Mile Brook again. Snow shoes weren't needed, but there were several inches of unpacked snow on the trails between Carter Dome and Mount Height. Several inches of unpacked snow heading down off of Mount Hight. Carter Dome Trail had more packed snow, but the roots and big rocks were still exposed. Took off the spikes at Nineteen Mile Brook, but slipped several times on the ice. If I was hiking the same route today after last night's snow, I would bring the snow shoes for up top and the spikes for the rest of the way. |
