Stairs Mountain.
It’s been several years since I spent my first night alone in the wilderness. This is where I slept, high atop the cliff face of Stairs Mountain, deep in New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest. Peace, quite, solitude, with awe inspiring views in almost any direction.
The last thing I saw before before closing the flap on my tent in the night and the first thing I saw when I emerged in the morning, the beauty of the mountains.
That’s enough.
Should you get the chance, I highly recommend at least one solo wilderness camping trip.
Oh my, what can I say but: stunning , just stunning.
Thank you Paula.
There’s nothing like solitude in the mountains. Wonderful shot Jeff.
Yes! Whether camping overnight or just a long hike, being out in the mountains is always time well spent. It’s definitely good for the soul.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever been solo camping. It’s a little late now, but I can readily see the attraction. Perhaps some day…
Over the last few months I’ve taken up both rock and ice climbing, it’s never too late to start your your next adventure.
This photo brings me so much joy. The colors are absolutely magnificent! Makes me wanna go on that solo camping trip you mentioned 😛
Pack up your backpack and enjoy the adventure!
