White Mountains Hew Hampshire Sept 2004

My brother and I visited Glen Ellis Falls in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire on my recent trip north. There are two trailheads nearby, one for Glen Boulder Trail and one for Wildcat Ridge Trail. My brother who doesn't really hike much, and me who is quite a bit out of hiking shape chose Wildcat Ridge... which goes around 1000 feet or more... straight up.

Here are my favorite shots.
