Beautiful Mount Carleton!  
We traveled to Northern NB last weekend and it was amazing! Full of mini-mountains and colorful leaves. Absolutely gorgeous! I was a bit worried that I wouldn't do so well hiking up a mountain, but I didn't die and we didn't get lost or stuck up on the mountain over night. Yay for us!

Of course, there are lots of photos behind the cut, please check them out.



If you want to see a larger image, just click on the pic.


This was the sight that greeted us upon entering the park. We both got fairly excited when we saw this beautiful bear. We don't get to see very many of them living in the city.

I friggin' love moss! :)


Isn't it beautiful?




Taking a rest on a convenient boulder.


I'm not sure if you can see it, but there is a cute little chipmunk hiding behind that branch. He was skittish and ran away when I tried to get closer.




By this point we'd already been hiking for at least an hour and a half. Of course my lovely hubby wanted to go the rock ridge route. I was a bit worried but that's nothing unusual for me. :)






He was coming back down to see what was taking me so long. :) Pictures and trying to catch my breath, of course!




I'm so glad we took the difficult way, it was absolutely amazing to look out at the surrounding mountains. The pictures don't even come remotely close to how beautiful it was there!


This gives the impression of being at the top but actually we still had to walk across the mountain for a bit to get to the top.


I don't know if he watched He-man when he was younger but I certainly did and that's what this pic reminds me of. And yes, that is a sword.




We're close to the top now.




I made it!


We took the alternate (easy) route back down the mountain. It was actually quite a bit less exciting.




We were supposed to camp that night but we ended up finding a hotel room with a jacuzzi. It was perfect after our hike. :)

There are other pics from our drive home but I think that's probably enough for now. I hope you enjoyed them!

Awesome pictures! (Awww, chipmunk!)

I totally envy your adventures.

Why thank you! :)

I'm sure you have loads of adventures that I would envy if I knew about them.

Sadly, I've been low on adventures of late.

Beautiful! I wish I lived anywhere near the mountains! We - we only have hills!!!
intrepidrayne[info]intrepidrayne on October 4th, 2007 08:47 pm (UTC)
We mainly have hills too. This was a three hour drive from where we live but it was definitely worth it! Besides, you went to Scotland recently and those pictures were amazing.

Gorgeous pictures...so glad you two had a nice time!

Thank you. It was a wonderful adventure that I won't soon forget!

Thanks! You are quite right, it was the best time to visit those mountains. The leaves were beautiful and the sight from the top of the mountain was breathtaking!

Lovely pics! That looks like a large bear. Was it? Bears make me nervous. I have seen several in my time.

That actually looks a lot like some of the places around here. The pic of him on the rocks with he mountains behind reminds me of the summit of my mountain. :)
intrepidrayne: hippy mel[info]intrepidrayne on October 4th, 2007 08:56 pm (UTC)
I actually don't think the bear was all that big, my photo must just make it look large. He/she wasn't paying any attention to us humans anyway.

The more I know about where you live, the more I think I'd like to visit! Have you posted the Carolina's post yet? I've missed lots recently and I know I'd like to see that when you post it.

Well we'd love to have you! I actually haven't gotten a chance to finish collecting pictures yet. I've been staying pretty busy, but I promise I haven't forgotten about it. :)
intrepidrayne: ocean[info]intrepidrayne on October 9th, 2007 10:42 pm (UTC)
Well, I'm still looking forward to it. :)

Oh yeah, ps: I've been meaning to work on that AVL post, but now I can't get the picture thing to work on my computer! I have a little memory card or whatever that I plug in and it puts the pics into my pc, but now for some reason it's stopped working. My new computer doesn't seem to have the right drive to fit the card. I'm not sure what to do about that, but I'm working on it. Maybe I can find a library or friend's computer that's compatible. My poor digi camera is full and now I can't even use it anymore til I get the pics off. :( Sorry it's being so long. I was looking forward to the post too.

*peeks head in an pokes*

How's it going? I've been peeking into lj periodically and realized I hadn't heard from you in a while. I sent you a message on Testriffic when I saw you took my test (er, I mean, you whooped it good!). :)
