Upper New England- Part 1
I've been in Vermont for a little more than a month now, and I've been hiking ridiculous amounts the whole time. I've also been taking pictures the whole time (naturally), so I have a lot to post. I'll be breaking this up into two sections, since there's too many for one go. The first big hike I did was in the Adirondacks with my friend Jack, up Mount Colden. It's in the middle of the High Peaks region, and even though it's not extremely high (though it is one of the 46 peaks above 4,000 feet) it's pretty steep, with a great view of some other big peaks in the area. Jack and I are both very, very fast hikers, so we made it up fairly quickly (albeit exhausted). Marcy Reservoir on the way up- Mount Colden is the peak at far left with the large slides. The only problem was getting to the top and realizing we were at the lower edge of a cloud. The peaks of the higher mountains nearby were mostly obscured, but we still had a really spectacular view...
