Middle Carter Mountain

"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

"A long and satisfying climb. The weather was perfect and the foliage just past peak. We took 19 Mile Brook Trail to Carter Dome Trail, and then the Carter-Moriah Trail over both peaks and back again. The vivid colors and crisp air more than made up for the long wait for views. When we did draw near to the South Carter summit, we were able to find a high boulder just off the trail where we could stop and eat lunch long enough for the feathery clouds to part. 19 Mile Brook Trail is very pleasant and forgiving, a great way to start and end a climb." — gooner • Oct 13, 2019

"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

"The Quick and Dirty Trail Report: Trails: 19 Mile Brook Trail, Carter Dome Trail, Carter-Moriah Trail, North Carter Trail, Imp Trail, Camp Dodge Bushwhack, Road Walk Parking: about 6-8 cars when we started and one left when we returned Trails clear up to about 3700 feet. Thin monorail for the remainder of the hike with soft snow off the monorail. Trails were streams on the way down after 3300 feet. Water crossings: The trails were streams on the Imp Trail, but other than that only one or two small crossings. Nothing major. Dogs…none Traction: Bare boot and then Spikes from 3700…could have used snow shoes if desired. Lost & Found: None" — shay-shay • May 7, 2017

"The last mountain of the day with AMC Boston. The summit is always difficult to locate on this one. Somebody finished there NH48 on this hike. We celebrated with the gauntlet. After this mountain, we went down North Carter Tr to Imp Tr, and met up with the leader that turned around at the Dodge Camp where she drove us to our cars. Great day to meet new people and be out on the mountains." — newenglandwarrior • Mar 26, 2016

"I needed Middle and South Carter to nearly finish my 3rd loop. Parked the car at 19 Mile Brook, road walked down to Camp Dodge, then hooked up to Imp Tr to North Carter Tr to Carter Moriah Tr to the summit. Didn't stay long since there was a lot of clouds and kind of windy. " — 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. http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/3159213 " — markst-john • Jan 9, 2016

"4K number five of WCM Traverse. Spikes were useful coming down from South Carter into the col, but after that I tried to hop from dirt spot to dirt spot to avoid wearing down my micros. I saw a few people out, all of whom appeared to be really enjoying the day. " — npweeks • Dec 12, 2015

"Last AMC 4K footer of the trip. After getting up here I headed back up and over South Carter, down to Zeta Pass, down the Carter Dome trail, and back to the car via 19 mile brook." — LGH-Tom • Nov 26, 2015
