Presidential Undercast, 11/15/2009

Yesterday's visit to the Presidentials was undertaken strictly as a peakbagging mission. The weather forecast called for fog and drizzle, and we were wholly expecting to be stuck in a cloud for the majority of our hike.

However, upon hitting the ridge we were suddenly faced with some of the most tremendous undercast I've ever encountered. Although the clouds quickly engulfed us on our way up Adams - and did not break until our descent from Monroe - it was a tradeoff I was willing to make.

The ever-changing nature of the mountains, and the views that we witness from their summits, never cease(s) to amaze me.

...and a few vertical shots.

Fabulous pictures!! So awesome....and I'm so jealous.

Sweet photos! I never get tired of the way the mountains and the clouds play together.

Maybe it's YOU that brings the clouds to the Prezzies

Wow - absolutely stunning photos! I would say more but I am at a loss for words. Just beautiful!

Awesome photos!

Wish I could give you more than one greenie for those photos!

Larissa, I think you go pic-bagging in the mountains every time you hike! Nice eye for quality shots and composition. Love the one with the Lakes Hut looking west, almost looks like oceanfront property instead of lakefront! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

those pictures were... ehh.. ok.. i guess.

Great shots on such an interesting day...Kudos!!!
