Spending My Birthday on the Summit
2014-12-17 17:29:35.000 – Werner Griesshammer, Summit Volunteer
After a day with a breathtaking sunset Monday night, nature decided to surprise me with a spectacular sunrise on Tuesday as a birthday present. Standing on top of New England’s highest peak and taking in the beauty of a clear morning cannot be easily put in words. While people in the valley woke up to clouds and fog we enjoyed the sun slowly rising over the horizon, dipping the surrounding peaks in a slight alpenglow.
