Summary

Our hike will bring us over three 4,000 footers - North, Middle and South Carter Mountains. The hike up via Imp Face has spectacular views over the valley towards Mt Washington. Views at the top are somewhat limited - but beautiful.

Our Route: Hike up the Imp Trail and the North Carter Trail (there are a number of water crossings – all manageable). We then take the Carter-Moriah Trail north to the North Carter Mtn summit. From there we will head south on the Carter-Moriah Trail. We will summit both Middle Carter & South Carter Mountains. Lastly, we will descend via the Carter Dome Trail and the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail.

This will be a loop hike with car spotting: We will meet at the Nineteen Mile Brook Trailhead parking. We will spot cars then drive north a short distance to the Imp Trailhead.

Estimated Elevation Gain: 3800 feet
Estimated Round Trip Distance: 11.6 miles
Estimated Duration (with lunch): 9 hours

Note: This hike is subject to cancellation in the event of inclement weather.
