White Mountain Trails
Three Caps Trail to Mt. Jefferson
Pastel 5X7 framed/matted $175
Ridge trails are my favorite for hiking because of the vast vistas, the exposure, and the Whites have many ridges...Franconian Ridge, Crawford Path, Kinsman Ridge, to name only a few.
Painting from the ridges is also fun since it is a time to relive the adventure, follow the trails mentally and imaginatively, and see the world from the top!
Franconia Ridge: Lincoln to Little Haystack

Every trail has
its own uniqueness,
be it ledges, slopes or views varieties of trees and wildflowers
according to altitude
and season;
and inevitably,
the creative oddities and arrangements
left by the trail builders
and protectors.
