Sunday was a spectacular day in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, so we couldn't rest on our laurels and we just had to get out into the mountains. We decided to tackle an easier peak with great views, so we chose to hike the Royces (East & West) which can be easily accessed from the Evans Notch Road. This was just 20 minutes form our campsite near Gorham.
East Royce is in Maine and West Royce is in New Hampshire, but they are easy to hike together (and there is no border crossing to be concerned with!). We saw quite a few people on the east summit, but we had the west summit to ourselves. Apart from being attacked by a territorial grouse on the way up the hiking was uneventful, but steep. Our knees were very happy once we'd made it back to the parking lot!
