Five of the OTHH took a little walk up the ski trail at Wildcat to the top of the lift, then up the last few yards to the top of the "D" peak. Then it was through the woods along the Wildcat Ridge for a couple of miles to the "A" peak. There we stopped for lunch, while taking in the view across Carter Notch to Carter Dome and northward over the Carters. Especially impressive from there also is the look down (darn nearly straight down!) to Carter Lake and the Carter Notch AMC hut. Then it was down the north side of the "A" peak to pick up the 19 Mile Brook Trail, for a nice 3.6 down and out hike through the woods to the cars left there earlier.
Below are Doug, Marie, Darrell, and Jane (pic by Dick), where the ski lift ends. Behind us, across Pinkham Notch, is Mt Washington (over 2000' higher than we were), with its famous Tuckerman and Huntington Ravines.
Then we have Dick, Darrell, Marie, and Doug atop the lookout tower on the "D" peak, just above where the ski lift ends (pic by Jane).
Over at the "A" peak, are Marie (seated), Doug, Dick, Jane, and Darrell, with Carter Dome behind us.
