Path Type
There and Back
The Carbon River Trail now begins at the Carbon River entrance at the northwest border of the park. Bikes are allowed on this portion of the trail, but not allowed on trails past the campground. Given that this trail follows an old roadbed, it's quite easy-going;the grade stays consistent at ~2%. After reaching Ipsut Creek Campground, the trail maintains a gentle uphill grade as it parallels the Carbon River. At 1.7 miles from the Ipsut Creek Campground, cross the Carbon River on a foot log bridge. Once across, continue upriver to reconnect with the Wonderland Trail at the Carbon River Suspension Bridge. Do not cross the suspension bridge, continue straight to the Carbon Glacier overlook.
Some Issues
numerous tree falls on the wonderland trail about .25mi past Ipsut ranger station, searching for trail through the moraine, cairns are very helpful please do not knock down. crossing the morine again at the intersection of wonderland and northern loop trail due to large washout of wonderland trail. crossing the moraine is difficult had to walk across and jump from a downed tree to the other side. northern loop trail was a little covered with debris otherwise not bad. had to turnaround and did not make it to view point due to time constraints
