2006 Mt. Washington New Hampshire January 19-24, 2006

 

The hiking group that went to New Hampshire January  19-24, 2006 consisted of JP Jones, Bruce Davidson, Ed Martin, Duncan Fairlie, Al Bellinoff, Dave Bowman, Bob Adkisson, and Mal Higgins. This batch of photos shows the hiking group lounging and eating in the Cranmore Mountain Lodge, North Conway, NH, where we spent a night on arrival;  getting gear ready at the Pinkham Notch Visitor's Center for the 2 mile hike up the slopes of Mt. Washington to the Hermit Lake Shelters area,  the Hermit Lake 3 sided shelter with a sliding door where we stayed and the picnic table outside, and some of us inside the shelter (January 20-21); we explored Tuckerman Ravine, a gigantic bowl on the face of Mt. Washington Jan. 21.  The photos also show a day hike in the Crawford Notch area on the Arethusa Falls trail in a light snowstorm on January 23 on icy trail conditions.  The frozen falls were spectacular with some water still flowing.
