August 2012 - New Hampshire
We hiked Mt. Washington, up and back. It was probably the most challenging hike I've ever done, but it was also incredibly fun. The summit was foggy and windy, as it is most of the time.

| A nice waterfall towards the start of the hike | Hiking above the tree line | |

| Hiking across this ridge the wind was blowing so hard it felt like we would get blown right off if we didn't stay low | ||

|
|
| And we made it to the summit! 6,288 feet, the highest point in New England. Needless to say the weather was not that great. | The summit is only halfway through the hike, still had to get back down. | |

| Knees were aching, but we finally made it back to the trees | ||
