"Katie V needed the Carters towards her NH48 and I needed them for my Grid. So we agreed to team up. The weather wasn't the greatest for most of the hike. But at least Katie go to see something from Carter Dome. We went up Middle Carter first and Carter Dome last. We bypassed Mt Hight. " — newenglandwarrior • Sep 22, 2018
"Super nice warm day, mostly in the 40s. Lots of sunshine. Tops of the northern pressie were all shrouded from Mt Hight. But by the time we got to Carter Dome, they had lifted. Beautiful blue sky and not a bit of breeze on Carter Dome. We were the only ones up there." — Alohabuffy • Mar 1, 2018
"After South Carter, I went down then up Carter Dome. Didn't stay long on the summit. Headed back and went down Carter Dome Tr, then down 19 Mile Brook Tr to my car. Some good Gridding today." — newenglandwarrior • Dec 7, 2017

"As part of hike from South Carter to Mount Hight to Carter Dome to Carter Notch hut and across Wildcats. With daughter. 15 hours hiking total. Very steep, long descent from Carter Dome to hut. Ascent up to Mount Hight totally worth the 360 degree view. Perfect day. mid-50s to mid-60s. Needed gloves atop Hight. " — Lester37 • Aug 26, 2017
"I was going to get Mt Hight because it was a beautiful day, but when I went past the trail, it was not broken out. So I scratched that idea. I postholed below the summit of Carter Dome, about knee deep. Yuck. After tagging the summit, I went down Carter Dome. I put on snowshoes partway down and kept them on until I reached the parking lot. This made it tricky when I reached 19 Mile Brook Tr because there was a combo of monorail and bare ground.

"Some crazy red-lining and my first overnighter being done in the Wild River Wilderness. Approached Carter Dome via Black Angel Tr, then went down Rainbow Tr to Wild River Tr back to Spruce Brook Campsite." — newenglandwarrior • Aug 6, 2016
"The first peak with the AMC Boston Chapter. We hiked up 19 Mile Brook Tr to Carter Hut, then up to Carter Dome. Lots of ice on the trails and as we got higher up, most of us switched to crampon's. A couple of people turned around from our group. Nice but limited views from the top. " — newenglandwarrior • Mar 26, 2016
"I bypassed Mt Hight to spare my legs the additional elevation gain, and went right for Carter Dome. A little bit of a view near the summit. On the way down, met a Grid finisher who was working on his 3rd Grid. I was planning on doing Owl's Head tomorrow but after I saw how open 19 Mile Brook was, I decided against it." — newenglandwarrior • Feb 7, 2016

"Warmer than normal for a January day in the Whites, although the summits were fogged in and cold. Some glimpses of the sun, but an overall cloudy day.

"Summit number three of WCM. Left Wildcat A, dropped wayyyy down into Carter Notch, then made the grueling climb all the way back up to the Dome. Not much to say about it this time around; mostly socked in, not that there's many views anyway." — npweeks • Dec 12, 2015

"My annual Thanksgiving tradition. Woke up after a great nights sleep at Carter Notch Hut. I was one of only three people there, one of which was the caretaker. Got up and dressed at 7am, checked the weather report, had breakfast, and filled up my water bottles, then hit the trail around 8am. Headed up the Carter Moriah trail into a socked in and windy summit. Spent a short amount of time at the Carter Dome summit and then continued on towards Mount Hight." — LGH-Tom • Nov 26, 2015

"Lucked out and got a hitch from Joe Dodge to our starting point at South Imp trail. Got a preview of the AT SOBO hiking over the Carters and the Wildcats! Great to get a taste for what I'll be in for next year! Beautiful and sunny the first half of the day, then the fogged rolled in passing over the Wildcats. But what a fantastic day!" — matt-beard • Oct 24, 2015

"Trying to beat thunerstorms this day, but I remember that it ended up being a very nice day. I took NMB up and saw the new bridge that was under construction down low. Very nice. Trip was too long ago for much detail." — npweeks • Aug 22, 2015

"This part of the trip was killer. After hitting Wildcat A, I descended wayyyy down into the notch. From there, the trip back up roughly 1800 feet is pretty grinding. This was one of those times when I just put my head down and take a step...step..step. I got up in a decent time, took a summit pic, and then headed back. I knew that I still had a long day ahead of me to backtrack all the way to my car at Pinkham. " — npweeks • Jun 13, 2015
"Hiked up with Denise and Nick as part of the AMC YM Carter Hut weekend. We got there first. After lightening our incredibly heavy loads, we went up and over Carter Dome and Hight. The hike from Carter Hut to Carter Dome was a lot easier then I remember. " — newenglandwarrior • May 22, 2015

"19 mile brook to Carter Dome trail to Carter Moriah trail. Trail was packed wore crampons for most of it. Summit was socked in, windy and near white out conditions. Tagged the summit and retreated back down below tree line." — Selrahc2nd • Mar 3, 2013

"Solo hiked the Carter-Moriah range, it was in the clouds the whole time but very mild weather in general. Bits of gusty wind on the bald tops and faces, and plenty of drizzle, with moisture that stuck the whole time. Despite that, it was beautiful and a great experience up there. Wish I could have caught some views of the Pressies, but oh well!" — chrisr00d • Jun 27, 2012

"My friend and I completed Cater Dome, South Carter, Middle Carter, and Moriah to bring our total of 4,000 footers completed to 20 peaks. On this 17 mile over night trip we were accompanied by two friends.
This was our first overnight of the year, and was a very exciting experience. We took the time to plan our hiking itinerary, food menu, and packing list, though not everything went by plan…
The night before we dropped off a car at the north end of the Carter-Moriah Trail. This is a very interesting trailhead that is located on a residential street called, Bangor St. off of Rt. 2 in Gorham New Hampshire. The plan in the morning was to be at the trailhead of the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail at 7:00am, well this is where things started to go off the plan and take a venture of it’s own…
Due to a fun, late night it became inevitable to avoid a slow start to the morning, arriving almost 40 minutes later to the trailhead then planned. (mistake #1) Despite the sever erosion on the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail, which changed the trail to one of my favorite “easy footing” hikes to a muddy, rocky, and eroded footpath, we kept a good pace. We were all looking forward to taking the ..." — CarissaJean • May 26, 2012

"Happy to add another 4000-footer to my list! Mostly glad I decided to add Mt. Hight too though, 'cause Carter Dome doesn't really have a view. It's treed in w/ just a couple look-outs...
Stopped at the AMC's Carter Hut on the way out, and had a delicious bowl of beef stew with some crusty homemade bread YUM!" — CiccheMariti • Aug 21, 2011

"After a hard snowshoe breaking trail over Mt Hight cresting Carter Dome was a cinch. The deep powder snow and bluebird day made us giddy at the constant scenic value. Was a long descent to Carter Notch, the lower half glissading through sun-baked snow." — scott • Dec 30, 2010
