I had a great day in the mountains yesterday! Leaving the trailhead at dawn, I was able to spend the entire day enjoying the snowy wilderness all the way to the summit and back. Great snow/trail conditions above a certain elevation allowing #snowshoeing between there and the summit. A clear sunny day with great views from the top.

Photo of me standing at the summit of Mt Liberty. I had just arrived at the summit and am wearing my backpack, holding trekking poles, and have red snowshoes on my feet. I am standing in a patch of snow adjacent to rocky top of the summit. The snow-capped Mt Washington is in the distant background against a blue sky with puffy white clouds. Brown and tan boulders partly covered with snow in the foreground.

Photo of my red snowshoes stuck in a bank of snow at the summit of Mt Liberty. Snow in foreground, snow-capped Mt Washington in the distant background against a blue sky with puffy white clouds. Green trees in the intermediate background.

Photo of snowy trail in snow-covered forest just after sunrise. Photo taken early in my hike. The trail has many footprints and leads from the camera to the top of a hill. The sun is blocked by one of the trees. Long dark shadows from the trees are projected onto the white snow.

Photo of small stream winding through snow-covered forest. Stream flows away from camera. The snow makes an irregular pattern along the banks of the stream. Brown and tan rocks line the bed of the stream. Green trees in background.

Just got back from my first #backpacking trip of the year and it did not disappoint! Set up base camp partway up a mountain next to a #stream, then summited the mountain the next day. Returned to camp for the night before heading back home. With the rainy conditions, people stayed away-- I didn't encounter a single person in two of the three days-- had the summit to myself!

Photo of me at summit of Bondcliff. The summit is very rocky, with boulders on left and rock cliffs to the right. Mountain peaks in distant background with dark rain clouds. I am wearing a blue jacket, green pants, and a wide rim hat. I am wearing a backpack and front-facing fanny pack.

I took this "selfie" by mounting my phone on my trekking pole that was stuck in the ground.

Photo of my hammock, suspended between two trees in the forest. This is near a stream (not shown). A brown tarp is suspended directly above the hammock to provide shelter from rain. Only the end of the hammock can be seen since the tarp blocks the view.

Photo of wide river in green forest. At the horizon, a distant mountain peak is seen. That peak is where I hiked to. Large tan boulders are on each side of the river. I followed this river for several miles before hiking up a tributary stream.

East Branch Pemigewasset River.

Photo of narrow ice-covered trail in green forest. The forest is mostly free of snow and ice. However what remains is the ice covering on this section of trail. The ice is formed from the snow being packed down from many hikers which causes it to turn into ice. This icy section was close to the summit. At lower elevations, the trail was completely free of snow and ice.

Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this gorgeous #stream that I crossed yesterday on my #backpacking trip. Can you see the mist in the air just above the water upstream? Lots of moisture in the air with all of the rain this area was getting.

Photo of stream in dense forest. Pool of water in foreground, small waterfall falling over boulders and into pool in the middle, and more of the stream behind the waterfall. Large brown boulders line the stream. Trees lining bank of stream are green.
