Headed up to Mt. Washington on Sunday, September 18 for a 8 mile hike to check out some of the skiing terrain for later this winter. Scott Osgood, Nikki Roux and I headed up the Boot Spur Trail around 9 a.m. The trail is pretty steep in places and wanders up along side the Gulf of Slides, one of the places I most would like to ski this winter. We then hiked along a ridge past the top of Hillman's Highway and over to the Tuckerman Ravine trail, which we descended down to the Lunch Rocks. After a quick lunch, we made are way back to the parking lot around 4 p.m. and headed to the Muddy Moose for a beer and dinner. Great way to spend a Sunday! Here are some pictures:
Tuckerman's Ravine - this picture is of some of the rocks that make up the head wall.
Stay hydrated!

Probably the worst picture out of the bunch.

Great picture capturing how steep Tuckerman's really is. This is taken from the middle of the Lip looking over at the Chute.
