Adam and I went hiking in Baxter State Park today. I'll spare you guys the oodles upon oodles of pictures I took, but thought I'd share a couple of the pretty ones (ok, and maybe a couple silly ones too).
Keep in mind that this is just a few miles from our house. Now you see why I love it here!
We decided to hike up to see the falls, mostly because it was the shortest trail and we're both ridiculously out of shape. Well, what logic failed to work out in our brains is that if water is flowing down, you have to go up to get to the source of it. You can't really tell from this picture, but most of the trail was straight up the mountain. I bet I'm going to hurt tomorrow!
This bunny was extremely friendly, not at all afraid of us. He was only a couple feet away from me. There was also a very friendly red squirrel - ran right up to us - but he was moving too fast to get a picture of, the little stinker.
The bummer is that all of our pictures of the falls themselves didn't come out... the sun was too bright and too direct, and with no contrast, it just looks like masses of rock. Ah well. Next time...
