Carter Dome

"Molly and I went for the Carter Range today. Both of us needed them this month. We parked at 19 Mile Brook and walked down to Joe Dodge. We then cut through to reach Imp Tr. We then headed up. We eventually reached the ridge and headed to Lethe first. After tagging the summit, we went up to Middle Carter and tagged that summit. We then headed over and tagged South Carter. Next, we dropped down to Zeta Pass, then up Mt Hight. Been awhile since I was last on Hight. Lovely views today. We then went over to Carter Dome. Molly also wanted to tie up a loose end and grab Wildcat A. So we dropped down into Carter Notch. Still feeling decent, we made our way up A peak and got it. We then doubled back into Carter Notch and took 19 Mile Brook Tr out to the car. " — newenglandwarrior • Nov 8, 2020

"Solo hike up Nineteen Mile Brook to Carter Dome Trail to Mount Hight. Then over to Carter Dome. Hiked down the Rainbow Trail to Wild River Trail to Wildcat River Trail to Carter Notch Hut. Nineteen Mile Brook Trail back to trailhead." — dmcosker • Oct 3, 2020

"Hiked up via 19 Mile Brook Trail to Carter Notch Hut. Topped off water at the Hut and proceeded on the steep climb up to Carter Dome. Great lookout point looking over at Wildcat A and down in to the Notch. After Carter Dome hit Mount Hight which has the best views in the whole Carter-Moriah Range. From there traversed over to South Carter and then Middle Carter. Hiked down via North Carter Trail to the Imp Trail and out via Camp Dodge. It was a short road walk on Rte. 16 back to the trailhead. Fantastic day marking off 41, 42, and 43 of the NH 48." — dmcosker • Jul 18, 2020

"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
