 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Surprised to see about 5 cars already in the lot at 6:45am upon arrival. Maybe a dozen cars at finish. Unpaved part of Carter Notch Rd. to the trailhead is pretty bumpy, so just go slow and you'll be fine. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Big crossing of Bog Brook (3rd one on the way in) was the trickiest of the day, however could be managed with careful foot placement. All other crossings (I think 9 total?) were pretty straightforward. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Bog bridges on Bog Brook Trail could use some love. There were some that were in pretty rough shape. |

All the ones we saw were happy! |

 | Comments: |
Absolutely glorious loop on Carter Dome. Trails were super mellow except for one push on Rainbow to the top of Rainbow Ridge.
Saw not a single person on Bog Brook, Rainbow, or Wildcat River.
This loop in peak foliage is just perfection. |
