Carter Moriah is in really good condition. I very much judge those that hike without snowshoes, but this trail simply doesn't need them right now. A solid 3" base that is fast, and even with today's warm temps remained in good condition. Barebooted all the way to the summit then threw on spikes for the descent.
The coming rain may melt this a bit, but the cold temps after might make it even more solid. Fun hike with a few good buttsledding spots. |
