DescriptionThe Carter Traverse is one of the Death Hikes of the White Mountains: it took us 11.5 hours of hiking, scrambling, and running, for 18-19 miles and 7000 feet of elevation. Some parts are flat, but some are very steep.

Starting from Glen Ellis Falls and ending in Gorham is the best way; the beginning is steep, you don't want to go down there at night or under the rain.

You will climb six 4000 footers:
- Wildcat D: 4050,
- Wildcat A: 4422,
- Carter Dome: 4832,
- South Carter: 4430,
- Middle Carter: 4610,
- Mt. Moriah: 4049,
and be rewarded by wonderful viewpoints on the Presidential Range.
