Comments
Comments: This is my first trail report on this site, but I use it all the time and thought I should start contributing! I parked at NMB then walked to Camp Dodge and cut up to the Imp Trail, which made for a really nice loop. Some sections of the trails, especially Imp and upper NMB, were very wet, but it was manageable with waterproof boots. I stopped at the Carter Notch hut where there wasn't a soul in sight, but they did have some brownies out for sale, which made it worth the tricky descent to get down there!
