Ashley and I went back to finish off Carter Dome. We hiked the carters a couple of weeks earlier and we ran out of time and energy so we passed on Carter Dome, even though we knew that meant we could have to come back in the next couple weeks so I could finish my NH48. I was sick and when we woke up we weren't sure we were going to be able to hike that day, but we got moving... perhaps a little slowlyI think we started hiking at 1:00 PM and we knew we would be getting down in the dark, but hoped to get some good sunset views from Mt Height.

Sunset from Mt Height overlooking the presidential range (Mt Washington is the tall one)

From Carter Dome looking East into Maine

From Carter Dome looking north, Mt Height is on the far right and the rest of the carters are straight ahead.

The trail sign says 19 mile brook trail

give me a fun rock and I will climb it... like a monkey...

This is the lake right by Carter hut, I forget the name

Mt Wildcat behind

The old monkey of the mountain... ok Ashley just made that up, but it sure looks like a monkey

And monkey makes three
