2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Carter Dome, South Carter, & Middle Carter (52-54 of 67)

Peaks 52 through 54 for this year would be Carter Dome at 4,832 ft, South Carter Mountain at 4,430 ft, and Middle Carter Mountain at 4,610 ft. I hiked them on 10-28-14 on a day that was cloudy with occasional showers. It was 36 degrees on the summits with wind gusting to 15 mph. The hike was 13.3 miles with 3,386 feet of overall gain and 4,634 feet of total elevation gain.
