Northern Presidential Range
A view to the north from Edmands Path, including Mt Franklin (5001') Mt Washington (6288') and Mt Jefferson (5712 ') (far left).
Mt Washington is the highest peak in the northeast.
No Joke
A serious warning to hikers at the treeline before emerging into the alpine zone.
Edmands Path
Edmands Path emerges along the north slope of Mt Eisenhower, heading toward a junction with the Crawford Path just ahead.
Mt Franklin (5001 ft) is left center, Mt Eisenhower is to the right, not shown.
The strip of white down among the trees to the left is the Mt Washington Cog Railway base station.
The Cog runs along the ridge beyond Mt Franklin to the 6288 foot summit of Mt Washington, hidden behind Mt Franklin from this vantage point.
Starting Out
Heading up Edmands Path en route to Mount Eisenhower and the Presidential Range.
Mount Eisenhower
Looking north to Mount Eisenhower (4780 ft) from the Crawford Path.
Edmands Path (2.9 miles) scales Eisenhower from the west, wrapping around the north side just below the summit where it meets the Crawford Path.
Mount Washington (6288 ft) looms to the right rear.
