The 'Cats via a south loop, RGoH, party of 11. Up to Carter Notch via Wildcat River Tr., thence over the ridge westerly, then down to our start via the Wildcat Valley backcountry ski trail and Hall's Ledge Trail. We skipped the lower section of Bog Brook and Wilcat River Trail & used the fire road instead--less water xings. Ledges on the ridge are moderately icy now with the worst of the ice placed where it is most inconvenient. Just a dusting of snow. The WV ski trail is somewhat wet & muddy at its upper end but gets drier as one descends & is nice & wide & easy to follow. The clearing just before Hall's Ledge has a spectacular view. |
