Like the famous folk singer Joni Mitchell, team leader Liz Varney has looked at clouds from both sides--of the White Mountains, that is. On June 3, 2007, amid ominous storm clouds, she and co-leader Beth Grierson led hikers over the rocky summit of Mount Chocorua. One week later, Liz had her head in the clouds again when she joined six other Wilderness Heals hikers as they trekked over Mounts Lincoln and Lafayette. Here, she shares her photographs from both hikes. Above: The 3,490-foot Mount Chocorua looms in the distance.
Danielle climbs the slippery slabs leading to the summit of Mount Chocorua.
Sandy and Beth scramble over rocks.
Sue, Beth, and Mary summit Mount Chocorua.
Liz summits Mount Chocorua.
Gathering storm clouds indicated that it was time to get below treeline. Thankfully, the rain held until the hikers were headed back to Boston.
During the hike over Mounts Lincoln and Lafayette, hikers took a short break at Shining Rock.
Clouds are seen from the Franconia Ridge Trail.
Mounts Lincoln and Lafayette are seen from Little Haystack.
Clouds billow across the ridge.
Liz enjoys the view.
More cloud cover.
Still more clouds.
Laura, Liz, Jocelyn, Karin, Jenn, Linda, and Danielle smile at the top of Mount Lincoln.
Jenn is tuckered out.
