honeymooners

kim and i got married last sunday, october 7.
after goodbyes and thank yous with loved ones,
we headed north, to get an early preview on winter....
we hiked for 4 days in the white mountains of new hampshire.
it was a new locale for both of us, and it proved to be equal parts adventure and romantic honeymoon.
at the summit of mt guyot on thursday, the temp was in the teens and the wind chill was said to be nearly -20!
here's to starting things off on the right foot!

 galehead hut - heading out on day 2 into the chill

up up up to...

 south twin summit, our first new england 4,000er

little frosty traversing to mt. guyot

excited to be a new, awesome place



 nearing guyot summit



zealand mountain....the summit?! or some mud in the middle of ice?

white mountain trails are steep


view from zeacliff - wow.

Hey guys, thanks for having us to your awesome wedding and thanks for sharing these awesome photos!

You two are definitely a handsome couple... You hear that Carl, PHOTOGENIC (or maybe it's just Kim and those awesome mountains in the background...!?)

Beautiful and so rugged, those Whites! I'm glad you two had an awesome and safe adventure.

Is my own husband giving you a hard time? ;-)
