The trailhead to the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail is located off of Route 16 in Carter Notch. Parking is $3.
The first 1.9 miles on the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail was fairly easy. At the intersection, we took a left and went up Carter Dome Trail to be able to bag Mt. Hight and then Carter Dome. Unfortunately Hight is not part of the NH 48, but the 360 view is spectacular!!
This sign made me laugh, the AMC spelled the mountain name wrong.

Mt. Washington
It was really windy at the top of this one so we didn't stay long. We took the Carter-Moriah Trail (AT) to Carter Dome.

The summit of this mountain wasn't that great. There's no view except for the patch where trees have been cut down.
People on Mt. Hight
From the summit of Carter Dome, it was 1.2 miles from the Carter Notch Hut. We stopped at a look-out point (its a little off the trail but WORTH IT!) I had also stopped to talk to some North to South AT hikers! Young guys my age, I loved hearing how and why they started!

We ended our trip back on the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail. Great weather on this day!
