What better way to celebrate the sun and the summer solstice than with a gorgeous sunset looking westward over the Whites?

- Moonlight over Moose: ascent

- Porcupines!
Zoe and I hiked fast (and sweaty) to reach the summit about 8:10, just in time to enjoy a sunlit summit and a vivid display of colors. We also got some great views of the rising, almost-full supermoon. Sadly, even though I carried my good camera, the batteries were dead.The iPhone photos don’t do justice to the scene, especially the two porcupines Zoe and I had to avoid in both directions.

We didn’t stay long on top of the rock, because dark was falling fast in the woods, and the bugs were in full buzz. Just enough time to scarf down some PB& J, and we were off down the trail. I do have to admit…. walking in the woods at night was a little bit scary, but luckily we made it down safely without any mishaps.
