New Hampshire white mountains and cog railway to summit mt Washington
A lovely clear crisp morning with blue skies.
Sadly we heard our grandchildren’s cat ziggy was run over and died. They are so sad he was barely a kitten.
We travelled through the white mountains from Gorham to the cog railway up to the summit of mt Washington.
The train was a diesel and the cogs on the line pull it up the steep hillsides. The views and commentary were superb. At the top we were at 6 000 feet (so not like Denver cog railway at 14000 where I felt sick and dizzy)
We had an hour up there. There was some snow up there and we saw the ice crystals melting and falling from the meteorological station up there. So pretty…
I took quite a few pictures of the trains and the views over the mountains. We really enjoyed this
The Appalachian mountains are beautiful in spring. Everything is bright green and fresh. There are square miles of state parks and paths to follow. The appellation trail is hundreds of miles across.
We stopped by Ellis Falls on the way back
You walk by the river and down steep stone steps to see the water falling along the river bed. The highest fall is 60 foot drop.
I was proud I managed this with two replacement knees!
We saw huge yellow and black butterflies but they moved by so quick I couldn’t photo them.
Today was a good day and we have have two more full days here so with the sun forecasted for the week we should get clear views.
(I will post photos of the Ellis falls soon as I have to reduce them in size and also WiFi is poor here)
