#8 Mount Jackson, New Hampshire

On Memorial Day weekend in 2013, I headed over to the White Mountains to see some friends and to get in a hike.  It happened to be the day after running my first marathon, so my legs weren't exactly fresh, but I can virtually always summon the energy for a hike.  Having not been in the Whites since 2008, it felt great to get another one in.  We ended up doing the six(ish) mile Jackson-Webster lollipop loop.  It was super windy and the ridge trail at the top was a mess of mud and snow, but the views (as you can see below) were killer.  Clear, stunning views of snow-capped Mt. Washington.  Another 4,000 foot summit tagged.
