 | Comments: |
Used micros all the way to Imp Face then switched to snowshoes the rest of the way, which were much preferred. The section from Imp Face to North Carter was messy and overgrown. Lots of branches sticking out onto the trail. Similar on sections of North Carter trail. Be prepared to get whacked in the face by branches. Drifting from the storm covered my tracks near the summit of Middle Carter. Overall a tough hike, 10 miles in 8 hours. |
