South and Middle Carter Mountains in New Hampshire


Peter approaching Middle Carter
On March 16 I hiked in New Hampshire's Carter Range with Peter, a friend and former colleague.  We reached the summits of South and Middle Carter, two peaks in the White Mountain National Forest.

The weather was surprisingly cold for the last week of winter, with single digit temperatures and fresh powder snow on the ridgeline.  But the sky was mostly clear and blue, with excellent views of nearby Mount Washington and Maine's Evans Notch region.
