Mount Monroe White Mountains New Hampshire

Oh Boy! What a great day to be in the mountains - and what a change from last Saturday!
Up at 2:30am and leave home at 3:15am for the long drive to get to the trailhead a little before 7am. Only a couple of other cars there when I arrive, pays to get there early.

With a forecast for near record temperatures and clear skies I head into the mountains once again.
