Carr Ridge is a really fun, technical piece of trail that starts up by Hayes Field, and ends down on Lane trail, just across the doubletrack of Lane from Bear Brook. Going down Carr is probably the most fun, but if you're up for a technical challenge, climbing it is fun as well (or maybe you just like suffering, who knows...). You'll cross a couple of intersections at Sentinel Pine and Lost trails, but you pretty much just head straight through these to stay on Carr. Near the bottom, Cascade will come in from the left.
