Summer Vacation 2017: Hiking the Welch-Dickey Circle

On the final day of our summer vacation we decided to hike the Welch-Dickey circle in Waterville Valley, NH.  It was a beautiful day for a hike, and we figured that at just 4.4 miles we could take Zealand along with us.  After a short walk through the woods the trail emerges onto some big granite slabs and then makes its way around a spectacular ridge above the tree-line.  We had great views in all directions and "Mr Z" managed to make it around despite some panting and minor fatigue on the steep uphill sections.

Panting and minor fatigue sounds just like me on the steep sections of a hike!
