September 8, 1983, 43 years ago today: After Eisenhower, the trail descended into a col before another stiff climb up Mount Franklin, the first 5000-footer of the day. The sky had cleared very nicely by the time I reached this peak.

#backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail

An alpine plateau in gold-tinged slanting evening sunlight beneath a soft blue sky. Much of the plateau and small portions of the peaks have a ground cover of golden grass-like plants with patches of green, leafy ground-hugging plants. Everything else is bare gray granite boulders and rock outcrops. Three nearby peaks rise above the plateau on our right. Beyond the three peaks, the top of a much higher peak is hidden by a long dark cloud, which casts a dark shadow on the rest of the peak and a spur ridge of that mountain.

September 8, 1983, 43 years ago today: It was mostly cloudy in Crawford Notch at 12:30 when I set out on the Appalachian Trail. A nice, stiff breeze was blowing, the air was fresh and dry, and the day was much cooler than the last few had been.

We are high up a mountainside looking down over the treetops to a large valley below, mostly forested with a strip of 4-lane interstate running down its middle towards us and then bending to our right to skirt the mountain we are on. There are a series of high peaks flanking the valley to our right and left. A railroad cut stands out on the lower slope to our right. A maple just below us has turned a bright orange, all the other trees are still green.

Ranger Sarah likes these lavaderos along the Camino Ingles, they give her a spot to sit down and take a break.

The sun is bright as banks of thick clouds drift towards the horizon. An overgrown meadow of very tall grass and weeds, with a few shrubs sporting bright yellow flowers. Beyond the meadow two wooded ridges meet in a narrow sag with several other wooded ridges cascading to the horizon.

September 7, 1983, 43 years ago today: Took a day off the trail (my last). From May 18, 1983: A side trail, up from the North Carolina side, joins the Appalachian Trail just in time for this colorful display of trees in full bud.

#backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail

We are walking a trail through a field of lush green grass under a bright partly cloudy sky. Just ahead two trail signs mark the terminus of another trail joining the AT from the right. Just past the trail junction is a sprawling rather open grove of trees in full bud with pink, white or red flowers that continues along to the top of a knob. Beyond that knob rises the crest of a much taller mountain with wooded flanks and open, grassy stretches along parts of its crest. The two peaks of the mountain rise near the center top of the photo.

My first time backpacking! Just an overnight trip at Crossgate Farm Campsite with lots of walking then lots of reading and relaxing. Lovely place.

September 6, 1983, 43 years ago today: After South Twin, the trail was much easier. That is a relative term in the White Mountains. I still had to contend with a zillion rocks and exposed tree roots along the footway and several short, steep climbs.

#backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail

Beneath a whitewashed sky with hazy gray clouds, we are walking along a lofty ridge crest through an upland forest of stunted spruce and fir. An open rocky area to our left is also covered with low leafy ground cover. Several lofty peaks rise ahead in the mist. They are mostly in shadow, although parts of the scene are catching some watery sunlight.

September 6, 1983, 43 years ago today: I have always been fond of South Twin. At 4902 feet, it is one of the loftier summits in New Hampshire, and the ridge crest has an extensive alpine zone.

#backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail

The sky is bright white with hazy sunshine. We are high up a mountainside looking out over the treetops down into a narrow wooded valley between us and another wooded mountain to our right. The valley curves to our right, disappearing behind the second mountain. A wooded ridge running down from our range to the right borders this side of the valley as it curves around the other mountain. Other mountain ranges cascade into the distance beyond this ridge, gradually dissolving into the mists. A dead, naked tree trunk frames the photo to our left.

It’s not a regular meadow, it’s an alpine meadow.

Pecos Wilderness Area, northern New Mexico.

Several tents are set up in an Alpine Meadow at sunset.

Just got out of the Sylvania Wilderness area after a week. I didn't have to use my rain pants, fleece shirt or first aid kit, so it was a good trip. #backpacking #camping #hiking #canoeing

@matthikes.bsky.socialSep 5, 2026, 2:43 PM

The packs were heavy, the views were spectacular, and the company (trees included) were perfect.

I’m looking forward to a fall were the vibes are 100+ but the temperatures aren’t.

Ranger Sarah studies a map of the Parish Church of Santiago. The main chapel and the old sacristy were build in the late 16th century.
— Pontedeume, Spain.
