mountain located in Grafton County,New Hampshire . Smarts is flanked to the north by Mount Cube (2,909 ft), and to the southwest by Moose Mountain (2,195 ft).Although of only moderate elevation, Smarts is separated from the southwestern White Mountains by Oliverian Notch, a fairly low pass traversed byNew Hampshire Route 25 southwest ofMount Moosilauke .
