White Mountains Guide Day Thirty-Six
Today was really nice. Despite the fact that I very much didn’t want to get out of bed and drive 2 ½ hours one way and then hike all day, I got up and by the time I got on the highway I was thankful that I didn’t go back to sleep. I ended up breaking up two hikes into three, climbing Wheeler Brook Trail from the west and east trailheads to the HOL along with The Roost and was glad I chose to do Wheeler Brook this way. The eastern portion of Wheeler Brook is beautiful. There are several waterfalls at the beginning that are stunning and The Roost has a really interesting old foundation at the beginning as well which I loved seeing.
