Carter Notch Hut (NH) via 19 mile brook, 5/3

John Boston · 05-04-2008, 04:49 PM

Date of Hike: 5/3

Trail Conditions: Muddy, then monorail for last third of the trail. All river crossings are bridged. Noticable temperature drop in the notch, with the mist turning to freezing rain.

Special Equipment Required: Used crampons for the monorail, helpful but not required. Poles certainly help for stability.

Comments: Planned on doing Carter Dome, but late start and poor weather made us change our goal. Somewhat frustrating day, but still a great day in the woods. If you find my lost contact on the trail, please let me know

Good effort!

I've climbed Carter Dome from the hut twice this winter and its a very steep climb with lots of deep snow and ice. Not one I'd want to do in weather like yesterday's. Worth returning in good weather for a loop over Carter Dome and Hight.

Sent you a pm regarding Owlie.
