 | Comments: |
19Mile Brook was ice and bare rock all the way to the hut. And mostly melted or slush on the way back down late in the day. Plenty of water and mud and wet leaves on this trail. Headed up to Carter Dome from the hut, we put on snowshoes for some deeper, soft, slippery snow and kept them on to Middle Carter and back to Carter Dome Trail. Everyone else out there had on spikes and leaving lots of post holes. Snow was just deep enough that I’m glad I had snowshoes. Spikes down Carter Dome trail and back to the car. Trail was narrow in spots between Carter Dome and South Carter, where snowshoes made it a little tricky, but was not going to switch traction. |
