Hiked the Tuckerman Ravine Trail to summit of Mt. Washington on a steamy July day. A black blob caught my eye as I glanced down one of the ski trails that cross the trail. Upon further inspection I found this young bear. She saw me but didn't run too far and stopped to check me out. She went...

This was seen today in the Alpine Garden. The plant reminds me of rhodora but the bloom reminds me of rattlesnake root. Any help appreciated :)

Anyone know the story here? This pile of sh*t is located at the wilderness boundary along the Wild River Trail, presumably taken from the now-dismantled Perkin's Notch Shelter. This pile caught my eye...it's only 40' from the trail. If this trash isn't good enough for the wilderness...
