Advertisement: A snowshoeing day trip near Carson Pass. You ascend a saddle and traverse a ridge, crossing three peaks, until you summit Little Round Top. There are views of the Dardanelles Lake region to the northeast and Round Top and Kirkwood to the south.
More photographs.
Difficulty: Depends on snow conditions – get an alpine (early) start for better (harder) snow. We started at 10am. The round trip distance is roughly 10 miles with 1500 feet of total elevation change.
Preparation:Bring snowshoes or skis.
Summary: Though they were good, the views didn’t change too much as we traversed the ridge, and the summit of Little Round Top is somewhat anticlimatic as it rises only a few hundred feet above the peaks along the traverse. 3/5
