This is the full set of pictures from the Cohos Trail trip I took. The captions are more for my own benefit as I write my trail journal, so I can keep them straight, but maybe they'll make sense to you, too.
Day 1, on trail up Mt. Martha.
Me on the trail up Mt. Martha - first day, start of trip.
View from summit of Mt. Martha. Bitterly cold and windy. My pack in the foreground.
Sunset from Owlshead. Came out badly; the light streak was actually a bright pink/red, but digital cameras aren't up to that yet.

Camp my first night out. Too small for my tent, very very cold. About a quarter mile down from summit of Owlshead.

This, too, is part of the trail! (South of Jefferson)
Tenting on Mt. Starr King, second night. Many moutain ridgelines in the background.

View away from my campsite on the summit. The summit canister is visible, cabled to the dead tree in the top left of the picture.
