It was a great day for a hike, sunny, warm, with a dry trail and no bugs to speak off (except for Fred who is a bug magnet). It's a great hike with varied terrain.
Three of us did the loop to the Middle Sister summit - Fred went up the Piper Trail and meet us at Middle Sister (or should I say we meet him there since he was waiting for us to arrive). After a break enjoying the views - we all continued to Chocorua. Lunch time with gorgeous 360 views !!!
We continued our loop hike down Liberty, Hammond and the Weetamoo (one of my favorite trails).
It was Alexander's first time up to Chocorua - think he really, really liked it.
