HORSESHOE MEADOW


Horseshoe Meadow at Mt Adams is another place that's been on my list for a long time. I made a plan to hike to the meadow and invited a few friends to join me. I was joined by Will and Mary Taylor and their dogs Molly and Rosie and another friend Joan.

We ascended gradually through lush forest. Most of the wildflowers had gone to seed but we did score a few fine specimens of tiger lily. The bugs were tolerable and I'm confident the bugs will be history very soon. The lupine was more abundant as got closer to the meadow. No views of Mt Adams till we reached the meadow. It was worth the walk to get there.


Curious, energetic and exploratory Rosie made a party of the trail. Mollie sauntered with her usual dignity and casualness. Funny how having dogs along can make the hike more fun!
