| Description | First Sunrise of Spring, as seen from Mt. Washington: March 21, 2009
We left Pinkham at 2am and powered up the Boot Spur. Around 4am we lost the trail somewhere along the Boot Spur trail and popped out onto the link trail. After much thrashing about through the just-below-treeline-trees (those trees are tough!) we popped out onto the link trail which we followed back to the Boot Spur and we were back on track. We watched the sun come up from the Alpine Garden and then had breakfast on the summit of Mt. Washington. We went back down along Lion's Head and said hi to 40,000 hikers and skiers all going in the other direction. Aaron Yaar, Mike Oltmans, Erik Dill, Lei Wang |
