Day 132 of the hike was a challenging yet rewarding journey through the Carter's and Mount Moriah. The author begins by recounting their climb up Carter Dome, a steep but manageable ascent that offered little in the way of views. The rest of the Carters followed, with the author noting the presence of other hikers, some of whom were familiar with thru-hiking. The descent down North Carter was a steep and rocky affair, but the author persevered and eventually reached Mount Moriah, where they faced a final climb that was more tiring than difficult. The descent from Mount Moriah was steep, but the author found solace in the gentle decline that followed, which allowed them to fill up on much-needed water. The final stretch of the hike was a flat and cruisy affair, which made the approach to US Route 2 feel quick. The author and their companions hitchhiked into Gorham, where they enjoyed a well-deserved dinner at the local brewery before camping for the night. The day's stats included 17.8 miles, 5,279 feet of ascent, and 6,253 feet of descent. The author also noted the presence of 31 snakes on the trail and the 24th time they had used their stove.
