Highlights of the trip: rock shapes smoothed by flowing water
Our week in the White Mountains was about to begin! We arrived late in
the afternoon on Sunday, June 9th. After checking into our
accommodation (The Village of Loon Mountain), we decided to get outside
for a short hike. Franconia Notch was only a few miles away and we
could easily fit in a hike to The Basin before dinner. (The Basin
itself can't really be considered a hike, but we did go beyond that to
look at Cascade Brook).

It was nice to get out after several hours in the car on the way up. Monday's weather is looking good for our planned hike to Arethusa Falls.
