It was a cold day with a bit of rain here and there. there was snow on the ground at higher elevation, and once we hit the top the snow and wind kicked in and the visibility dropped to next to nothing. it was a great adventure!
pleasant drive up and a place to get a t-shirt to boot ;-]

5th State HP
Pretty easy hike along the AT. Cloudy most of the day, but it cleared up towards the end of the day and we had some gorgeous views south of the summit on the AT.

Quick playhike of sorts
HP #10 for me, #4 for my husband, #1 for our pup. They drove up, and dropped me off at an AT crossing on the road up. I reverently hiked the AT up to the summit, where they awaited me for pictures and puppykisses.

Easy hike
Climbed this on a beautiful day! Too bad the memorial tower was closed, but the road was closed so there were very few people on top.

nice evening hike
Very nice trail and view from the top. The tower on top is a nice bonus!

Pretty peak
I climbed this mountain when I was a summer storekeeper at Camp Beckett. It was my second or third state high point, and at the time I had a thought: maybe someday I could do all the high points and write a book about how to do them all. But part of me said nah, nobody else would be interested in bagging all the high points.

Will have to come back and do this one right
Drove up on a cloudy/rainy day for an unfulfilling summit bag. Will have to try hiking up sometime to do this one right, and hopefully be rewarded with good views on a clear day.

Via Thunderbolt.
Wish I'd done it in the winter so I could ski down.

My first State Highpoint
Took time off before a convention in Boston to drive to Western Massachusetts for my first State Highpoint
I've hiked on this mountain a lot because i used to live close. Great trail system. I've been up to the summit from just about every direction! It has been nice with no cars the last year and a half. The Road is scheduled to be re-opened this summer though along with the lodge... I'm sure thru hikers of the AT will be happy about this(the lodge). Hike up on a nice sunny day! You wont be disappointed!

Bear!
Encountered some late through-hikers on the AT. On my way back out I saw a baby bear scamper across the trail, which was scary since mama bear was surely somewhere around!

HP #20
I did this one solo as my wife was still a little sore from Connecticut's highpoint the previous day. I summitted via the Gould Trail located off of the Chesire Harbor Trail. It was a constantly steady uphill with a 6.6 mile round trip distance. This very likely could be my last Eastern Highpoint for the year.

Had to hoof it up to the summit, but it was worth it.
