  • Looking west in a light rain at the summit cairn of Mt. Eisenhower
  • The open summit allows for views in all directions.  Like this one to the south
  • Heavier rain can be seen to the west
  • It's now become cloudy in the direction I am headed
  • Looking towards the western ridge of Mt. Washington where the Cog Railway runs up to the summit
  • Just on the other side of Mt. Monroe (the pointed peak in the middle) is my destination for the afternoon
  • Miles tries to stay out of the rain while sitting on the summit cairn
  • The trail headed up towards the Mt. Franklin area
  • A look back down the range from the area near Mt. Franklin
  • Mt. Eisenhower back to the south
  • Looking up the range towards Mt. Monroe
  • A closer look at Mt. Monroe which is starting to be in the clouds
  • View to the west from the trail
  • A ridge that comes off of Mt. Monroe to the southeast
  • Completely above treeline, only short plants can survive
  • The trail leading around Mt. Monroe
  • Looking back towards Mt. Franklin
  • The trail around Mt. Monroe
  • Mt. Franklin.  It doesn't have enough prominence above it's neighbors to be considered a 4,000 footer, despite being tall enough
  • The mountains drop off steeply on the eastern side of the Presidential Range
