| Comments: |
The Mt Washington Auto Road foot race was held today. Announcements of the race finishers could be heard in the Alpine Garden. I saw flowers in the Alpine Garden; Mountain Avens, Lapland Rosebay, Alpine Azalea, and Diapensia. Below tree line I saw Rhodora, Painted Trillium, Blue Bead Lily, and Bunchberry. Good views from the Alpine zone which improved as the day progressed. Lots of hikers out and about today. |
