Summer Solo Hike, 2002
Pemigewasset Wilderness, NH
|
I walked a week-long loop in the Whites this past month. The best views
seemed to be from the peaks of Mt. Lafayette and Mt. Bond. The panoramic
view above is from Mt. Lafayette. Click on it to see a larger image. Below is the image from the front page. I like this one because I took it myself (you can see my arm reaching out to hold the camera.) I believe that the mountain to my left is Bondcliff (it also might be West Bond.) Sorry about the inconsistent color balances. 
The route I took was a loop, most of which was along the Appalachian trail. I started and finished on the Wilderness Trail (off the Kancamangus,) traveling along the Franconia and Garfield Ridge Trails on the way in, and the Bondcliff Trail on the way out. This was an excellent loop that I'd highly recommend, as long the weather looks good. All the ridge trails are nice for views but less nice during stormy weather. Click on the map to view a larger and more readable map image. This is on Map #2 (Franconia-Pemigewasset) from the AMC White Mountains Guide mapset. 
And a random shot along the way...
