We proceeded down the Pt. Surprise Trail and back up the Thoreau trail, rejoining the Cliff walk Trail. Eventually we
arrived at Bald Rock, where we had a gorgeous view of the Monadnock summit.

Jeremy is resting at Bald Rock while Lana and Ky eat their lunch. They were pretending not to notice how far we still had to
go to reach the summit.
|
Khaila, however, wasn't intimidated.
|
Jason, Arjun and Brian preferred life on the edge.

Khaila and Greg are foraging for food in their backpacks.

We left Bald Rock and traversed the Mountain along the Amphitheater Trail, passing Black Precipice and joining the Smith
Summit trail above Monte Rosa. As we proceeded up the Smith Summit trail and neared the summit, our climb became
increasingly steep.
|
Yay! We made it! All of us on the Monadnock summit, tired but happy.
|
Jeremy, Khaila, Brian and Ky gaze at the beautiful foliage while Lana recuperates. We're not exactly sure what
Jason and Arjun are doing. |
Brian thinks he's a guru atop the mountain.
|
Our route down the mountain along the White Cross Trail was direct and less eventful, but still afforded some nice views. |
After connecting with the White Dot Trail, we stopped at the mountain spring to relax and refill our water bottles with
refreshing Monadnock spring water.
