Over Memorial Day weekend, fifteen Wilderness Heals hikers teamed up to collectively scale four peaks in the White Mountains. Saturday's training hike over Mount Percival and Mount Morgan proved to be hot and buggy--but ultimately beautiful. The hike included three team leaders, four veteran hikers, and five first-year hikers. Above: Shanti, Karin, and Vonda enjoy alfresco dining atop Mount Percival.

Sunday's trek up the 4,003-foot Mount Tecumseh was an extremely pleasant hike. The weather was cooler, there were a lot fewer bugs, and the camaraderie was incomparable. Two team leaders, seven veteran hikers, and one first-year hiker participated in the hike. Above: Danielle, Susan, Donna, Eileen, Sandy, Sue, and Karin pal around on the trail.
There are limited--but lovely--views atop Mount Tecumseh.

Margaret, Susan, Donna, Karin, and Danielle are visited by a chocolate lab during a snack break.
On Monday, Karin, Eileen, and Vicky decided to hike the 4,051-foot Mount Tom on their own. While hiking up the A to Z trail, they hit many downed trees, stream crossings, and even some patches of snow. Above: Vicky at a snowy stream crossing on the A to Z trail.
