White Mountains, New Hampshire

True went on a backpacking trip along the Appalachian Trail in the White Mountains with a group of campers from Moosilauke. Here he is with his friend Rhys on top of Mount Liberty.

The elevation marker on top of Mount Liberty, the first of several peaks that the boys climbed in succession...

... Mount Liberty, Little Haystack, Mount Lincoln and finally Mount Lafayette, a 5,249-foot (1,600 m) peak at the northern end of the Franconia Range.

They left behind their own mark.

It was beautiful country and beautiful weather.
