North Carter Mountain is a mountain located in Coos County, New Hampshire, United States. The mountain is part of the Carter-Moriah Range of the White Mountains, which runs along the northern east side of Pinkham Notch. North Carter is flanked to the northeast by Imp Mountain, and to the southwest by Middle Carter Mountain.
Although well over 4,000 feet (1,200 m) in height, the Appalachian Mountain Club does not consider North Carter a "four-thousand footer" because the col on the ridge from Middle Carter only descends 60 feet (18 m), making it a secondary summit of that peak.
Mount Eisenhower, formerly Mount Pleasant, is a mountain in the Presidential Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire approximately 4,757 feet (1,450 m) high. Named after President Dwight D. Eisenhower, its summit offers a 360° view. It is inaccessible by road.
The Four-thousand footers are a group of forty-eight mountains in New Hampshire at least 4,000 feet (1,200 m) above sea level. To qualify for inclusion a peak must also meet the more technical criterion of topographic prominence important in the mountaineering sport of peak-bagging.

The East Peak of Mount Osceola is one of the official New Hampshire 4000-footers, standing at an elevation of 4,156 feet (1,267 m).

It can be approached via the Greeley Ponds trail from the Kancamagus Highway or from the summit of neighboring Osceola.

The summit is nondescript and surrounded by trees.
