Labor Day trip to NH

Postby Citcope » Tue Sep 02, 2008 9:00 pm

Ok so i had to get off of Cape Cod for labor day. We decided to take a trip up to the White mountains of New Hampshire. We began to travel up through Boston and headed up to Laconia, NH which i thought was a beautiful area with lots of lakes and rolling hills. After traveling through the center of NH we ended up on the top of Mt Washington, elevation 6288ft, which is the highest peak in the eastern US. "I have a thing for getting high i guess". I have attached some of our photos to share with you all. If you ever make it to NH i would def recommend heading up to the White Mountains.

Nice Pics. Looks like a fun trip. The highest mountain on the east coast isn't Mt. Washington at 6288 feet. The highest mountain on the east coast (and east of the Mississippi River for that matter) is Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina at 6684 feet. Second is Clingman's Dome in Tennesse at 6643 feet. Mt. Washington comes third but it does have the most prominent peak of anything east of the Mississippi.

I consider all three of them to be hills though. I used to live in Colorado and they have real mountains there.

Nice pics. the wife and I drove up it two years ago after we hiked Mt. Adams. the scenery in the White Mountains is beautiful. last year we hiked up Mt. Garfield, and this year we are going to kayak around Lake Umbagog. I'd post pics if I can ever figure out how. :D

Nice pics, you have to take pics of how you put the bike on your roof and the bracket in back.
