Nice morning hike of Mt Carrigain. Remnants of a spotty monorail from the start then bare ground for the most part until approximately 2400 feet micros on until summit and back. Monorail is narrow and rotting in places. Often I had 1 foot on the monorail and one off in footprints. Snowshoes along for the ride today but glad they were as temps warm up they come in handy as the monorail is 3ft high in places. It was nice chatting with the group that camped up high last night as well as a few others I met on the trail today. *Please don't there gates... it literally is a 30-40 minute walk to the trailhead. 570/576
