Mt. Major Sunrise

I don’t know why getting up for sunrise is always so hard. It just is! We snoozed for 20 minutes past our alarm, but still managed to get up and make it to the Mt. Major trailhead in Alton, New Hampshire in time for a sunrise hike.

Lake Winnipesaukee.

Here comes the sun!

Moonset to the west.

I love this rock stack that someone built.

“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor…Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
