Hiking in the New Hampshire White Mountains

Hubby & I went kayaking this past Labor Day weekend & hiking in the White Mountains. We had the most perfect weather & clear skies.......great for viewing the mountains. The two photos below are from Waterfall Loop Trail. There were several very pretty waterfalls along this trail which continually follows up a stream coming down off the mountain.





The photos from the following pics are from Square Ledge AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) Trail. Below is the view from Ladies Lookout. The view is of Pinkham Notch.


Hangover Rock.




We came upon some rock climbers who were just starting to climb Square Ledge so we sat & watched them for a bit which was very interesting.




Then we continued on to the top of the ledge.






This is a view from beside the ledge.


And looking up at the ledge from beside it.


We made it on top!



And........the first rock climber makes it to the top!


And the final reward...........the view from the top of Square Ledge.




And the view (zoomed in) from the road of Square Ledge. We could see the mountain climbers standing on top.



It was a perfect day & we had just the best time. Sadie had probably the most fun of her young life so far. A very happy day!

Next trail!
