Too nice to head home after a volunteer shift - but not enough time for anything too significant - I took this walk to enjoy the beautiful afternoon weather and some nice features in Franconia Notch. Lonesome Lake was splendid and the views toward the Franconia Ridge were among the most crisp I had ever seen. From there I dipped down to Cascade Brook and then the Basin Cascades to enjoy their sights and sounds. Pemi Trail was a chill route back to complete the loop. Many folks out enjoying the day - obviously more so around Lonesome Lake and the Basin - but still a great way to spend a bit of outside time in the afternoon.
A few tress are staring to exhibit vibrant red leaves...it won't be long now. |
