A friendly reminder about being above tree line in the Presidential Range. |
Em and I got on the road early this past Saturday and drove up to Crawford Notch. This was to be Em's first wintery hike, complete with cold temps, some ice, and the endless quest to find a perfect layering system.

There was a bite in the air as we started up the trail, but we warmed up as we gained elevation. We soon encountered ice and mircrospikes went on.

In the distance: Washington, Monroe, and Franklin. |
Our goal today was Mount Eisenhower (4,780ft), one of the mountains in the Southern Presidential Range. Many people were out, and when we got to the summit we were not alone. It was a little breezy, so we snapped a few photos and then continued down to complete the summit loop.
