A fun fall day - Mt. Monadnock hike and apples

Sunday 10/16/11 - Weather conditions calling for rain in the White Mountains caused an early-morning change of plans from Mt. Osceola to Mt. Monadnock. The weather around Jaffrey and Dublin, NH was just fine for a fall day. Sheeba, Alex and I hiked up the White Cross Trail, Alex stopping to take photos along the way. We had a lovely time on top, seeking shelter below the summit for lunch.

We stopped for apples -- and my first caramel-covered apple -- on the way home.

4.2 miles RT, 1,800' elevation gain (2 hours up)
Summit: Mt. Monadnock (3,165')
Route: White Cross Trail
