New Hampshire Discoveries

We visited the White Mountains in New Hampshire recently but missed the peak foliage. However, there were still many interesting sites and much beauty to admire.

Secluded Elbow Pond. A search for moose here was not successful. But we did find beavers nearby.
Poet Robert Frost's New Hampshire home.

Hiking on a portion of the Appalachian Trail.
Be warned!
Beavers have been busy in this pond. We visited after dark one evening and could hear many beavers chewing madly at the tree trunks and bark. They worked "hard as beavers."
