Tough hike today! Winter threw everything at us- 35-40 mph winds with zero degree temps (probably around -30 with windchill) and lots of snow drifts. Our group broke trail on the Carter-Moriah section up to Carter Dome as well as a good chunk on the Wildcats. There was a lot of postholing done by a previous hiker which made everything harder. 100 mile views made the tough sections worth it! |
