view North toward Mt Washington

Mt Carrigain, October 2006

I took a quick day-trip to Mt Carrigain, and hung around on the summit for sunset. Too late for peak foliage, and ironically, good weather meant the sunset wasn't really colorful, but the evening light made for some good views of the surrounding peaks.
