Green mountain view from Mt. Wilson

Walking by Emily Proctor Shelter. A typical long trail shelter.

On Breadloaf mountain

Morning climbs

Leaving camp at 9 am. A nice leisurely start to our day. His and hers

6:16

I went back to the cozy warmth of my bed shortly after this. And popped my head out of my sleeping bag, half asleep already, just as the ball of fire that is our closest star rose over the horizon, maybe 15 minutes after this photo.

This was my vantage point from my sleeping bag in the shelter. Probably best cabin view of my life.

5:55 am day two of our hike.

I was hoping for a sunrise like this..

The photo on my phone can’t do it justice. Perfectly sublime.

Sunset. Very rarely do we have such a great view when backpacking in New England. Usually we’re in the trees.

After supper we watched 2 muskrats(?) swim in the pond. We thought they might be beavers but didn’t see any beaver tails nor any sign of beaver activity on the trees. Need to research this when we get home.
