Hiking in NH, Part Two

Sunday saw us waking at the crack of dawn - 7 am which doesn't seem too early except when you take into consideration that Andrew and I didn't get home from the BC game until close to 1 am.

Rich and Amy drove over to Newton and then Rich graciously chauffered us the 1.5 hours to Meredith, NH to Mount Morgan.























Although it was technically past peak, the colors were still gorgeous on our two mile climb to the top.

Before the summit, we hit the ladder section - yes, there are ladders on the mountain!
























Followed by a squeeze through a narrow crawl space (butt courtesy of Rich)
























Next was a climb across a rock face on our way to Mount Morgan's summit


















Finally, the top and a great view!

















Time for lunch - no worries about starving with all the food we carried up and with Rich's homemade trail mix. Although a dog did run off with one of Amy's sandwiches!

















Next was a half mile hike over the ridge line to Mount Percival and another great view.

















One of the last stops on the Morse trail down was a charming wood bridge.





















Legs and feet sore, we headed home.
