| Comments: |
Nineeteen Mile Brook Trail is in great condition (minimal mud, no ice.) Water crossings were all rock hoppable, but thin ice on some rocks (especially in the morning) required care. Ice patches started about half-way up Carter Dome Trail but could be generally walked around. More extensive icing on the Carter-Moriah Trail made micro-spikes helpful. The monorail which started on Carter-Moriah was no problem. Great day to be out. |
