 | Comments: |
Nineteen Mile Brook Trail to Carter Dome junction - well packed, barebootable.
Carter Dome Trail to Zeta Pass - well packed, snowshoes not a bad idea.
Carter-Moriah Trail to South Carter - decently packed. Follow our tracks just south of the South Carter summit for a nice eastern view about 20 feet off the trail!
Carter Moriah Trail to Middle Carter - we broke this out, decently packed. A single set of snowshoe tracks coming from the north from Middle Carter.
Carter Dome Trail to Carter Moriah Trail to Carter Dome - decently packed. Excellent views in nearly every direction from snowdrifts at summit.
Carter Moriah Trail to Mt. Hight - not too well packed, lots of different tracks, somewhat hard to follow in places. Some blue ice above treeline.
Carter Moriah Trail back to Zeta Pass - well packed. |
