Noonmark

On a humid August morning, Lisa and I decided to hike Noonmark Mountain in Keene. It was a steep trail and we didn't see anyone else throughout the morning. Once on the top, we enjoyed the panoramic views of the Great Range, Dial, Nippletop, Dix, Colvin, Giant, Rocky Peak Ridge, Big Slide and Whiteface in the distance.

After eating our lunch at 11:00, with the sun directly overhead (it was noon in Eastern Standard Time...) we soaked up the scenery and made our way down the steep scrambles. It was there that we met throngs of hikers always asking "how much more is left?" We decided that they needed to enjoy the journey...not just the destination.

It was a steep yet wonderful day hike with regular views over the last half of the trail.
