SEPTEMBER 19, 2026 / A HIKE WITH FRIENDS

Mount Lafayette,
with good company.

On September 19, I joined friends from work for a hike up Mount Lafayette. We started at the Cannon Mountain parking lot. These are photographs from our day together.

Rocky slopes, distant mountains, and a sky streaked with clouds.

The day began together below the mountain. Then came the wooded trail and the climb over rocks.

The photographs open out into rocky slopes, distant ridgelines, and an enormous sky. A place to pause and make another picture together.
