Glad you picked up on the size compariso...Hi Rita,<br /><br />Glad you picked up on the size comparison between Currier Mountain and Cherry Mountain. As you indicate, a 2,790 ft mountain would be a peak of respectable size in PA, and in many other regions of the U.S. as well. However, a mountain of that altitude is dwarfed when surrounded by “giants” such as Cherry Mountain.<br /><br />And regarding poison ivy, although it can be found in northern NH where I do most of my hiking, it is relatively rare. The harsh climate seems to limit its growth in this region, especially at higher elevations.<br /><br />Thanks for being such a loyal reader and responder to my blog postings.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-73677136731284367132015-09-10T22:52:16.629-04:002015-09-10T22:52:16.629-04:00I like your photo of Currier Mountain with Cherry ...I like your photo of Currier Mountain with Cherry Mountain in the background. Even though a 2790 foot mountain would be a good sized peak in my native state of PA, it looks like a tiny hill compared with your New Hampshire mountains!<br />Yes, I did see a faint trail through the weeds in your second picture. Hope none of those weeds were poison ivy!<br />Looks like another fun little trek, John!<br />One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.com
