Packing now for my hike in the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH. Here I am, sweating from the heat and occasionally standing in front of a fan to cool off, packing a beanie cap, neck gaiter, gloves and mittens, puffy jacket/pants, and full wind suit. Feels so contradictory in the moment, but it's so important to read the mountain forecast. Summit forecast calls for well below-freezing wind chill factor for tomorrow morning, rising to just above freezing later on. ❄️ #hiking #mountains

Had a great day of hiking in the White Mountains, NH yesterday! Climbed up a steep ravine (upper left), then hiked along the ridge to a high point (jagged peaks in upper right) before looping back down. Winds (and freezing wind chill) were as advertised— clocked at average of 45 mph (72 km/h) at closest summit. Wore lots of layers and full wind suit and was just fine. More pics to come! #hiking #mountains #nature #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography
