Yesterday was an awesome fall day. Marty, Ray, and myself had been planning to do the Carters last Sunday but the rain kicked in.
The three of us departed about 5:45 after having breakfast at McDonalds. By the time we came into the parking lot on the Imp Trail it was close to eight o'clock.
A great day lay ahead of us and we made to South Carter. The landscape was frost covered trees and a small dusting of snow. In the valley below it was autumn, and it seemed it was two worlds meeting. We had views into the Balfaces and it was gorgeous. There we arrived at last to our final peak, Middle Carter and we made out way down. We came to the end of our hike at the end of the 19 Mile Brook Trail. By now the sun was out and was cool. Marty went off on his Razor scooter down to the other trailhead, and came back in his car.
For those wishing to venture into the Carters should be aware of several manageble blowdowns. Rocks are slippery and the rivers and streams are trickling at their best.
