It’s a bit late but here’s some lovely fall color in the White Mountains in October.
Shooting photos from a moving vehicle is a silly idea but I thought there were a little fun.
Alexis, Brian, and I headed up to Mt Cardigan October 16th with Behr to do a quick hike a catch a bit of fall color. We decided to do Mount Cardigan which is a 3,156 ft mountain with a popular hike that is 3.1 miles round trip. We decided this short hike was ideal since we were driving up from Boston a bit later in the morning.
Once we arrived at the small parking lot and found the start of the trail we were immediately greeted by some beautiful yellow, orange, and red fall color.
The above photo of fall color peaking through well shaded forest is one of my favorites from the trip. It has that light at the end of the tunnel feel without actually feeling like the clique.
Eventually you reach a point where you can continue up the shortest way or take a slightly longer way up. During this hike it was still fairly early in the turning of color in New England but it was my last opportunity to hike and see the leaving turning in New England before Alexis and I went on vacation (more photos of that coming later).
This hike had lots of evergreens along the way which really made the trees that had changed color stand out.
Behr modeled for us as usual!
As we reached the summit we could see the fall color peaking through all round us. (And Behr’s head peaking through that tree, eager to catch up to me)
Some fall color and some windmills off in the fog.
