Finished up my 48 with these 5 peaks. We hiked the Wildcats down to the Carter Hut then bagged the Carters on the way out. The best part, by far was the Notch...by far the most interesting, beautiful landscape anywhere in the Whites IMO. The Ramparts are not to be missed. We hiked out over the talus to the viewpoint looking west southwest into Maine and took in the sunset. Carter Notch is a hidden gem. The Hut crew was also outstanding as was the food and entertainment. Lots of through hikers too to chat with. Great way to end my peak bagging which started 3 months ago with Tecumseh. |
