Mount Washington

Alpine Garden, Mount Washington NH

I'm still in the process of composing my reflection on a two-day hiking expedition in New Hampshire's White Mountains with a good Jesuit friend. There's plenty to talk about: boulder fields, undermined snowdrifts, hundreds of bikers, bloodthirsty flies, stunning scenery, wondrously favorable weather, and much more. Yet for now I'll post one of my favorite pictures from the ascent, an alpine garden that provided a tranquil and awe-inspiring respite before the final push to the summit, a climb that proved to be more arduous and much steeper than it appears here.
