We spent a lovely weekend camping near the White Mountains and decided to do a hike. Having already hiked Mt. Washington, we went for the second tallest: Mt. Adams, and while we were at it, Mt. Madison. It was very windy but otherwise a beautiful day. The hike was a big success, though I was certainly sore for a few days afterwards! Besides the hike, we also did some light hiking at Diana's Baths.
Lovely cascading falls and pools at Diana's Baths

The trail up to Mt. Adams, much of it was climbing up boulders
|
That's a serious warning!

The end of the trail was scrambling over boulders

It was beautiful looking over to Mt. Adams on the way down

A beautiful waterfall back in the lush woods below the tree line
|
It was so hot once we got back into the forest, after being blasted by the wind
