Hiking Trail Conditions Report
	Peaks	Carter Dome, Mt. Hight, NH

	Trails:	Nineteen Mile Brook Trail, Carter Moriah Trail, Carter Dome Trail

	Date of Hike:	Saturday, August 27, 2016

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	19 MB lot full today with cars along Rte 16 for several hundred yards

	Surface Conditions:	Dry Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	Low water made the 2 crossings on Carter Dome trail easy; a log is in place on the first crossing to get you across.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	Trails are in great shape lots of flagging and cut logs below Zeta Pass on Carter dome - looks like a lot of improvements are being made - thanks for the hard work!

	Dog-Related Notes:	Met several out today enjoying the trails, steep ascent on Carter Moriah out of the notch might be challenging for the smaller canines - plenty of streams and sips along 19 MB; no water on Carter Moriah from hut to zeta pass with exception of spring on spur off CM .7 from Carter Notch; a few sips heading down Carter Dome trail from Zeta Pass with the streams below the switchbacks.

	Bugs:	Saw a few but not biting today.

	Lost and Found:


	Comments:	Loop up 19 MB to Carter Notch over Carter Dome and Hight and down Carter Dome Trail. Trails all in great shape; usual spots of mud and water on 19 MB and a few spots of mud on lower Carter dome below the stream crossing but nothing of concern. There is a lot of flagging and cut logs along Carter Dome on the switchbacks below zeta pass - looks like there is going to be a lot of trail maintenance happening soon. Met many out today including a number of NOBO's.
