 | Comments: |
microspikes up 19Mile Brook until Carter Dome Trail. Snowshoes rest of loop - all boilerplate. I didn't sink in much along the ridge, and the trail may be difficult to follow at times - the snowshoe trough is pretty filled in. The last 2 miles of descent (down Impt Tr (s)) very tedious - bony/snowy/muddy; the track is very narrow. Light snow all day. Lots of leaning trees full of ice along the ridge - reminded me of turnstiles. No views but hints of sun at times. |
