Carter Dome

USA> White Mountains>

Overview

hike3.5adv

This strenuous hike includes several rewarding features along a loop itinerary. You start out with a steady climb along Nineteen Mile Brook and eventually reach Carter Notch pass with pretty lakes and an AMC hut. A grueling climb then takes you up to the summit of Carter Dome, after which an easy stroll leads to the summit of Mt Hight with excellent views of the surrounding area. Several sections are steep and rough and biting insects can be a nuisance, especially in May and June.
