Monday, August 28, 2023 - Madison & Adams

 Four of us OTHH had a rather lengthy day in the northern presidentials, hiking up Madison and Adams. With an early start, it was first up Valley Way to the AMC Madison hut, then the half mile steep climb to the summit of Mt Madison. The view is, of course, outstanding, including clouds swirling around the high peaks and at times that dramatic scene across the Great Gulf to Mt Washington. Below are Bernie, Andy, and Deb atop Madison.

Back at the hut, we fueled up again for the climb over and up to Mt Adams, 2nd highest of the 4k. Below are Bernie, Andy, Deb, and Dick, with clouds swirling around us. The clouds would move around and open up great views of everything around us.

 Below is one such view across the Great Gulf at Mt Washington. On the right and closer is the shoulder of Mt Jefferson.
