We became leaf peepers this weekend, the term New Englanders use for those who swarm to the Northeast during the fall. We hiked Mt. Tecumseh in Waterville Valley, the lowest of the 4,000-footers in the state. There are 48 on the official list to enter the higherpointer club in NH; this made 8 for us. We were the ONLY people on the trail, which was so great. Instead of coming back down the trail, we came down the ski slope, or rolled down I should say! And the leaves, yeah, they were extremely vibrant. I know why so many people come to New England to see the fall.
