Appalachian Trail #7 (Wildcat Mountain to Mt. Moriah)

The White Mountains are a rugged mountain range in northern New Hampshire (with a small portion in western Maine). They’re among the most iconic and popular hiking, skiing, and sightseeing destinations in the northeastern U.S.  The Whites are managed by the Appalachian Mountain Club and have over 1,200 miles of trails including the well known Appalachian Trail.  Mount Moriah is one of the New Hampshire 4,000-footers and it is most commonly hiked via the Carter–Moriah Trail or the Stony Brook Trail.  The summit is located on the A.T. in New Hampshire and it is a well-known peak in the Carter–Moriah Range of the White Mountains.  

This traverse links Wildcat Ridge to the Carter-Moriah Range, including Mt. Moriah.  Some peaks on this this traverse include Wildcat D, Wildcat A, Carter Dome, South Carter, Middle Carter, and Mt. Moriah.  It is the final section of the Appalachian Trail in New Hampshire for the northbound hiker. Carter Notch Hut (3300′) is about three miles from Wildcat Mountain, and it is the last Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) hut in the system. Gorham is fifteen miles north of here, and it is the final re-supply point before entering the Mahoosuc Range at the New Hampshire /Maine border.
