A Fall Hike

The weekend before last we were lucky enough to have lots of family visit in conjunction with fabulous fall weather. On Saturday we headed out for a short hike to Frissell Peak in hopes of seeing lots of mountain peaks and finding huckleberries to pick. Our starting point presented a photo-op with Mount Washington in the background.

 

The walk up to the top of the ridge is about 1/2 mile. We found plenty of huckleberry bushes, but very little fruit.

 

Our little grandson had no worries as he enjoyed the scenery from a sling.

 

 

Finally at the top we sat down, had snacks and enjoyed the view. Big smiles all around!

 

 

Queen of the Mountain!

 

The view was so spectacular with the Three Sisters as a backdrop, we took turns posing for our Christmas card photos, first Mike and me...

 

then our daughter's family.

 

Then it was time to head back down the trail. This time, two little people got a ride.

 

Oh, that these lovely, sunny fall days would last!
