Union of Concerned Scientists is an organization that stands up for science and the climate. They conduct research, contact officials, and fight for laws to be changed or passed (depending on their impact on the environment). Through December 31, any contributions made to them will be matched, making the amount donated doubled. To donate to UCS and take advantage of this opportunity, click here.
Mom, Alex, and I started just after dawn on the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail. We all wore snowshoes, as the trail was not fully packed out. Making our way up the trail, we quickly made it to treeline and then to the hut. The summit cone looked daunting, but we persevered to the summit.

After having a snack, we headed down. There were a significant number of people coming up, some of them with dogs, so Mom, Alex, and I weren't lonely as we made our way down Mount Washington.
There was a beautiful undercast...
Looking back...
We got back to the hut as the sun blared into our eyes.
Mom, Alex, and I made our way down, continuing to meet other people coming up. Eventually, we arrived at our car. The hike had been a short, beautiful, and enjoyable adventure.
