 | Comments: |
Clear blue sky early then clouding up by noon. Still had great views to the Presidential range and into the Wild River Wilderness as well as beyond. Temps from 40 to 65. No snow first 2 miles of Imp Trail then ice and snow to North Carter Trail. North Carter Trail and Carter-Moriah Trail had up to 4 feet of snow with a mostly stable monorail. I did post hole where the snow was getting soft. I wore stabilicers for traction. A really nice day to get away. |
