Came up to the
crest of the Carne Mtn ridge from the north, after climbing Mt Maude via Leroy Creek and coming south along the High Route. It sure felt good to sit on the rocks and look down into the green Carne Mtn Basin. There are still a couple of patches of snow in the basin, and plenty of water, but the trail and the main camp sites are bare and dry. The entire trail is in excellent shape, with all of the blowdowns reported a couple of weeks ago having been expertly cut away. The steep meadows just below the lip of the Basin are really beautiful - a dozen kinds of flowers blooming amidst the seed-bearing grasses, and all shimmering and surging in the gusty winds blowing upslope. I took a half hour break in the middle of the slope, just to soak up the splendid scene!
