White Mountains Take One

This is a view looking north from the top of Mt Madison. My friends and I hiked up to Crag Camp in the rain the previous day to begin a four-day visit to the White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire.

Mountain weather is unpredictable so we felt very fortunate to wake up to blue skies, scattered clouds, warm temperatures and gentle winds. We spent the day exploring Mt Madison and its higher neighbour, Mt Adams before returning to camp along the oldest trail in the area, Lowe's Path.

The wide open skies, distant vistas and sense of peace makes all the effort worthwhile.
