We took 19 Mile Brook Trail up to Carter Dome trail to Carter Moriah. C-M trail is pretty wind blown and as I already said, the snow pack is deep enough to put an annoying amount of tree branches in your face. We intended to head to Mt Hight from the Dome but couldnt find the trail. So we did what any other feverish peakbagger would do and buskwacked up there. What a blast! Deep snow and slow going but quite accomplished once we found it! We were able to follow the steep trail down. Tons of wind on top, thank god the dog is so low to the ground. It was literally, life a foot to step and risk being blown over. Good times! Great views! Great Day! So lucky to live here! |
