 | Comments: |
This was an out and back to Carter Dome, including an up and over for Mt. Hight. The trails were in excellent condition, all broken out and well packed except for some drifts up on the ridge. It was super cold and windy up top, especially on Mt. Hight, but the views over to the Northern Presis were spectacular. |
