Bugs

Comments
Comments: This is a very easy route to attain Carter Ridge and the numerous open areas of the ridge just to the south of Moriah. Unfortunately, the extreme level of haze obscured the hoped-for views. I do not recall seeing so much haze in The Whites, and suspect there was contribution of smoke from the wildfires out West.

All of the mud I encountered was on the Carter-Moriah Trail. These muddy areas were short, but some were deep, based on how far my trekking poles sent in. But careful stepping will keep your feet clean and dry.
