9/20 & 9/21 - I very much enjoyed the first snow up here in the mountains. I headed up the Mt. Elwell area figuring they'd have the most snow. The second day I headed up to Mt. Washington which was much lighter on the snow.

 

I woke up thinking it had just rained all night, but after seeing this, I had to see what we got up in the hills

Little Bear Lake:

Long Lake

Silver Lake

The next day was the journey to Mt. Washington. Not too much snow at this lower elevation.

An uncommon view of 3 lakes and Mt. Elwell from Mt. Washington. (from the left: Rock *Mt. Elwell above it*, Jamison, and Wades Lakes)

Bear tracks - from the night before and heading in the opposite direction *phew*
