Comments
Comments: It had been a while since I'd been on Goose Eye, and I happened to need these two sections of trail... and so it was. Everything in really great shape too! Saw a group of 7 or 8 boys coming out from a backpacking trip while I was ascending the road portion of Carlo Col Trail, a mother and daughter on the summit, and a couple ascending Goose Eye. Very quiet considering the fullness of some of the other trailheads I passed going to and from. It was pretty much a perfect day for this loop, though it could have been cooler.
