I met up with Steph at 9:30 am and we were on our way to Mt. Monadnock. We got there around 11am. Our plan for the day was to hike up the White Dot Trail to the Cascade Link to Spellman and then link up to Pumpelly for our way up the mountain.
We didn’t pass many people on our way up, which was really nice, unlike when I hiked the White Cross where Alecia and I were passing people left and right. It was so great to be hiking again after a long while; I really missed it. Hiking every day for Mountain Classroom really was a treat for me. I got into really awesome shape and even got faster at hiking.
My legs missed it too! I could hardly keep up without being out of breath and tired most of the time. I loved it!
The summit was beautiful as always and we got a spot to eat lunch away from most of the crowds.
For our way down, we chose to go: White Arrow Trail, Thoreau (which I would have gotten lost on if not for Steph), Cliff Walk, and Lost Farm Trail.
This trip I knocked out a couple trails and did some of the others. The updated map is below. All completed trails in red.
It doesn’t seem like I can reach my goal before winter hits, but I’ll try to get the most done that I can!
