I only started taking photos on the way down, but it was Tuckerman Ravine that we hiked on the way up. I was playing with the "GOPRO" on the way up. Oh yeah, and that's why there are no photos of Fr. Raphael...he needed to take the shuttle back from the top.

Fresh BEAR track...he was heading down hill...there were some bald jokes earlier, so I thought maybe this was payback time - 2 Kings 2: 23-25 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up, baldhead," they shouted, "go up, baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the children to pieces. From there he went to Mount Carmel, and thence he returned to Samaria.

About 7 minutes from the parking lot where we started the hike.
‘This FRIAR climbed MT. Washington.’ 🙂
I remember when my husband and son took the friars to Mt Washington in the summer of 2009. The boys who went that day thought it was a blast.
Awesome pictures friar. Great camera.
Beautiful photographs. Thank you for sharing.
Impressive vistas and obviously challenging heights. I feel quite satisfied for you having accomplished such a quest. Suspect you slept very well the night following this hike. Thanks for sharing awesome photos of God’s beautiful creation! (That bear track surely did look fresh…..)
These are wonderful pictures. So glad you were able to complete this hike. God sure made a beautiful place for us to live!
