I recently went hiking with a couple of friends to the summit of Mt. Jefferson in NH's White Mountains. We took the Castle Trail, which is named for the castle like granite spires along it's ridge. This particular trail is a pretty intense climb, with many steep sections of loose granite boulders above the treeline. We went for a hike this particular day to celebrate Mike's birthday. It was the perfect way to celebrate an old mountain man's b-day.
