Autumn Days are Fleeting

Autumn Afternoon

Leaf Peeping

This afternoon, I took the little ones on a leaf peeping excursion across Route 101 to Keene, New Hampshire. On the way there, we stopped at Miller State Park and drove up the auto road to the summit of Pack Monadnock. The kids were absolutely thrilled!

They climbed the fire tower three times and then wandered around on the summit looking for trail blazes. We found the yellow triangles of the Wapack Trail, but then the red circles looked more intriguing, so we followed those instead. We made a short stop at the Raptor Migration Observatory and saw a turkey vulture from a distance. We were all happy to be in the mountains and are looking forward to going back.
