I am posting a day late.

For this week’s post, I will just post a photo of I hike I took yesterday. I lead an AMC hike to two mountains on the 52 with a View list.

The hike took place in the Sandwich Wilderness in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The mountain is the highest on the 52 with a view list. I have only hiked ten of the mountains on the list. After I hiked the 48 4,000 footers a couple of time, I do not feel the need to follow a list.

The 52 With a View list (also known as the Over the Hill Hikers) contains fifty-two mountains with elevations under 4,000 feet and have incredible views.

This list first came about in 1979 with an ordinary group of friends hiking in the New Hampshire. Lib Bates and her husband Charlie Crooker soon took over to organize the group. In 1990, some of the older members of the hiking group suggested a new hiking list (getting tired of only hiking the NH 4,000 Footers) called 52 with a View; A list of mountains shorter than the NH48, but all with amazing views!

We took the Sandwich Mountain Trail to Jennings Peak and then to Sandwich Mountain.

The first obstacle we found was close to the start of the hike. There was a river crossing. The river was running fast, and the rocks were wet. We took a path around the river for the safety of the group.

Along the hike there was a glacial erratic. A glacial erratic is glacially deposited rock differing from the type of rock native to the area in which it rests.

We then took a wet and muddy trail to Noon Peak (2930 feet) for the fist view. Noon Peak is not on the list but it gave the group the opportunity to see our target mountains.

After this view we hike a little further down the trail to the Jennings Peak spur. From Jennings Peak, I could see Sandwich Mountain which was about a mile away on the trail.

Here is the view from Sandwich Mountain.

I spent most of my time hiking and leading the group, making sure everyone was safe. I did not have time to take photos along the trail, I had to keep everyone safe.
