'''Mount Hight''' is a [[mountain]] located in [[Coos County, New Hampshire|Coos County]], [[New Hampshire]]. The mountain is part of the [[Carter-Moriah Range]] of the [[White Mountains (New Hampshire)|White Mountains]], which runs along the eastern-northeastern side of [[Pinkham Notch]]. Mount Hight is flanked on the north by [[South Carter Mountain]] across Zeta Pass, and on the southwest by [[Carter Dome]].

Although well over {{convert|4000|ft|m}} in height, the [[Appalachian Mountain Club]] does not consider Hight a "[[Four-thousand footers|four-thousand footer]]" because the [[Mountain pass|col]] on the ridge from Carter Dome only descends {{convert|125|ft|m|abbr=on}}, making it a secondary summit of that peak.

The balding summit of Mount Hight has the broadest views of any summit of the Carter-Moriah Range. Conversely, Carter Dome, the highest peak in the range, is wooded and has only limited views.
