Franconia Ridge


This was definately one of our top ten days out here. We took a zero the day before because the weather on the ridges looked nasty and this was our reward. Once we climbed above treeline, the whole rest of the day gave us infinite views.

Approaching the Whites

We were getting closer and closer to the biggest, baddest mountains on the trail. You can see the dark clouds in the top corners of the picture and the fair clouds throughout. The weather changes about every hour or two except on the best and worst days. Very unpredictable.

A Visit With Friends


Our friends Rob and Lisa Rankin joined us in Hanover for a couple of days. We had a BLAST! This was taken outside of Peg's, home of maybe the greatest breakfast on the trail - the Hungryman.

Pine Grove


The landscape out here is constantly changing, and once in a while we walk through a really unique grove, like this stand of young tall pines with a forest floor covered with ferns.

Sunlight in Vermont

Great views of the sunrays after a rain.

What Do they Mean?


All along the trail, there are little piles of rocks made by different people because...well, who knows? There were probably 200 different piles in this little grove - each one different.
