Hiking Trip
My brother Brian and I just planned out a hiking trip up in the White Mountains for next weekend (Sept. 24, 25). It’s going to be a one night overnight trip. On Saturday we’ll go up to the top of Mt. Washington via Tuckerman’s or Lion’s Head and then we’ll peak hop over to Mt. Monroe. We’re planning on staying at Dry River Shelter #3 which is about 2.5 miles down Dry River Trail from the top of Monroe. The next day we’ll hike to the top of Mt. Isolation before heading back to the Pinkham Notch trail head, passing over Boott Spur along the way. Total mileage for the trip works out to be about 8.5 miles or so on Saturday and then roughly 10.5 miles on Sunday.

[...] I got back from our hiking trip yesterday and it was a good one. On Saturday, like I said, we went up to the top of Mt. Washington and I couldn’t believe the weather that we had. Not only was it entirely clear and probably in the upper 50’s or close to 60 degrees, but there was also absolutely no wind up there. I’ve never been above the tree line where it was completely calm like that. In any case we hiked down to the shelter and there were surprisingly a couple of other groups of hikers setting up camp there as well. We made some dinner, hung around the fire for a bit and turned in early. [...]
