Comments
Comments: Walked north to the side of route 16 to the Camp Dodge access road. Went up to Camp Dodge and hiked the herd path to the Imp Trail. There is a downed tree across the Imp Trail at the junction with the upper end of this herd path.
Parts of the Imp Trail, North Carter Trail, and Nineteen Mile Brook Trail were wet. Can avoid most of the water and mud by rock hopping these stretches.
Best views are from Mt Hight although there are also nice views from Mt Lethe and the ledges north of Middle Carter and a short side path north of Carter Dome.
Met many local hikers from Foxborough MA, Bethlehem NH, Jackson NH, and Scott who is on the 3rd round of the 48 after 75 years old. Many AT hikers.
