- Middle Sister Mountain and Mount Chocorua via the Carter Ledge Trail is possibly my favorite day hike in New Hampshire. This hike was absolutely beautiful and unique and if you haven’t don’t it yet it’s well worth the watch!
This hike counts towards two New Hampshire challenges, The Terrifying 25 (T25) and 52 With a View (52WAV)
The Carter Ledge Trail is the trail on the Terrifying 25 list and Middle Sister and Mount Chocorua are two mountains on the 52WAV list!
This hike was 10 miles and roughly 3500 feet of elevation gain. It was one of the most beautiful hikes in the whites in my opinion!

Nothing terrifying about this hike unless you do it in the dead of Winter without snowshoes. ;) Just a beautiful hike.
In the top 3 if not #1 of the most beautiful peak in the Whites. 2nd only to Madison on my most climbed list.
I love all your videos! You rock!
Thanks so much Tina
Hi Brian & Brittany, thank yo for an awesome video👊 My. Chocorua is my favorite NH mountain, incredible views! ❤️ Stay safe, stay well. 👊👍
Thanks Dennis!
It was another world over there! Truly magnificent! I really wish I filed the Liberty trail down.. it was mind blowing
Cant believe how many trails you guys knock out in a day! You two have endurance for days!
U have no idea lol! It comes with persistence. Hiking nearly every weekend all year round and pushing the limits constantly. Nutrition before and after our hike is super important but the most important is your pre-hike nutrition
The other thing that I forgot to mention is that you have to love hiking that much where are you desire at every second of every day to the point where you consider the mountains the love of your life. There is no better drive to kill yourself out there than to be absolutely loving it at the same time
Nice vid! Thanks! Planning on doing that hike in June this year
Another great vid! Mt "Choocaracha aka cocoa puffs" and her sister are amazing lol. There is a reason I am building a house 15 minutes down the road from there. :-) Kudos to you both for pulling off so many trails in a day! Keep hiking!
Hahaha and I am so jealous! I really wanna move to New Hampshire one day!
Outstanding hike!
It really is! It was like a diff world! Seriously the best 10 mile hike I have ever done.. I think lol...Brittany says I think every hike I do is my favorite. I just really love hiking
Brittany she is amazing!!! Brian, it's rare to have your partner is as good as you are! May be even better! Haha Lucky dog.
I think so too!
Just did Carter Ledge trail in the rain on Tuesday, June 15th, 2021. It was super dangerous with the exposed rock being supremely slippery. Came down Piper, took Nickerson over to Carter Ledge again to get back to White Ledge campgrounds. The views were so dramatic with fog, clouds and thunderstorms rolling across all.
That sounds pretty awesome! I love hiking with dramatic weather
Heres a quick timelapse of the type of weather we experienced: ua-cam.com/video/nFKLqIDhs5U/v-deo.html
Great video! You convinced me to do this loop for those views!
Did you do it already or do you mean you’re going to do it?
Haven’t done this one yet. We are currently working on the NH48, 52WAV, and T25 concurrently.
Very nice! I’m working on the 52 and the T 25 also. Last weekend went to Vermont to hike a couple high peaks there. Need to finish three more towards my Northeast 115. This winter I’ll be hiking my second winter round in the adirondacks with my girlfriend Brittany who needs to complete it for her first round!
That was spectacular!
Really dreamy
Thanks for educating me about the terrifying 25. A new list on my list. lol I'm an aspiring 46er and 115er. I love sketchy dangerous hikes. This is exciting!
It’s an amazing list!! I can’t wait to work on it this summer!
If you haven’t noticed already I have a playlist for all the terrifying 25s I have recorded.
@@BrianHikesAllDay Wow! Cool! I didn’t look at the playlists....I guess I’m not going to bed as early as I thought tonight. Lol
Brian,
Next season would LOVE for you to mention the date in the beginning of the video. Could always just post it somewhere in the description but definitely helps when it comes to planning and getting a feel for what we will see depending on time of year.
Love the videos and btw your cameras are awesome.
Thanks so much Mike! I will definitely start adding the date hiked in all my descriptions!! Great advice! November 7th!
@@BrianHikesAllDay ah, thats the same weekend I did carrigain (coincidentally coinciding with your video release of the same hke) and followed by the wilcat ridge to moriah traverse.
Hahahaha. I am wondering if I should post my videos a little bit sooner rather than holding him in a Queue for once a week uploads.. what do you think?
Dang you guys are blowing through these :). Nice work!
Bro how beautiful is this hike!!!
@@BrianHikesAllDay Amazing! I had an easier 52WAV planned for this weekend...your videos are tempting me to change my plan...haha
Yea man!! Yes if you do this park at the same trailhead and take the Liberty trail on the way down.. you won’t regret it.. it was just as beautiful and I kicked myself after for not vlogging it lol
I did this yesterday & you make the spot at 9:40 look easy- that took me 3-5 minutes just to get across that ledge~!
Wasn’t in such an absolutely beautiful hike?
@@BrianHikesAllDay It was! I'm still having nightmares from that 1 spot on Carter Ledge though! I wish I knew how to do better on those types of situations! I've done Katahdin Knife Edge & most of of the T25 list except Huntington Ravine, which after yesterday am not sure I can do!
Have you done North slide to try pyramid?
Also, not sure if you are a subscriber or not but if not I have a playlist for all of the terrifying 25 trails. Lots of great terrifying 25 content on my channel
@@BrianHikesAllDay Yes I have- along with most of the T-25. Huntington is the one I have serious reservations about & yes, I am subscribed to your channel!
It is gnarly dude. I'm, 68, I attempted Chocorua last year, I didn't quite make it. I reached Middle Sister. I'm going to try again this year 2024.⛰️🧗
You can do it!
Great 👏👏💋💋💋
I’m so glad you liked it!
That last climb up to chupacabra! (or however the way you say it). Good stuff!!! You put in some long days!!! I guess that's why your channel isn't called "Brian Hikes Until Mid-Afternoon".
I usually use "nuun", but I'll give Liquid IV a try!
Make sure to use my discount code!!
@@BrianHikesAllDay Just ordered! 25% AND free shipping??? Awesome!
Chocorua is pronounced (Sha-Cor-A) btw.
fwiw... pronunciation guide:
cho COR u a
:-)
Choka docka rocka doooahhh!
oh man...I was hoping for some footage of the piper descent in the dark...not fun
Beautiful video, as usual!!
I pronounce it Chuck -Or -Ra Or at least that’s what I’ve been told my entire life. It could be wrong 🤷🏻♀️
Probably right. But it just got pretty damn hilarious how many different things I called it during the hike. It just became an ongoing joke for the rest of the hike
I tried calling my friend before getting there so that I was able to pronounce it for the UA-cam. He was out hiking himself so I never got to figure it out before I went
@@BrianHikesAllDay I kind of like your pronunciation. I might start calling it Cocoa Puffs. It sounds cuter.
I live in the area and it's pronounced Sha-caw-ru-ah. Chuck-or-ra is how people from "away" pronounce it. It's always a great hike no matter how you pronounce it though.
Beautiful, I've never taken that specific trail to Mount Chocurua before. You should consider adding music to the middle of your videos as I think it would be slightly more entertaining if you did that, and it's not a ton of extra work
I don’t know how to add music or get music in adobe premiere Pro or else I probably would
Currently I throw my intros together in the go pro app and pick from the GoPro music list
But I haven’t yet figured out for taking the time to figure out adobe premiere Pro music
Its pronounced Cha-Car-Roo-A. 😁
Hahahahaha
No more blue sky just a mess everyday....why isn't anyone asking questions?
There has been plenty of people that have come out publicly about chemical altering the weather.
Nice video. Appreciate you. Consider your audio. Not really wanting to listen to some dude breathe heavy for 20 minutes
I totally get that but it’s hard to climb mountains and not breath
