Signal ridge offers the first real views on the way up the mountain. It's also relatively flat and not to far from the summit.	Signal Ridge Click on image for large view

Anthony tagged along with us on this hike. We all had a great time because the weather was warm and the views were awesome.	Anthony on the summit of Mt. Carrigain Click on image for large view
View of Mt. Washington from Mt. Carrigain Click on image for larger view	Mt. Carrigain is located in the geographic center of the White Mountains. Because of this it has one of the best views of any summit.
The peak is completely wooded with limited views, but still has an old firetower which offers a panoramic view in all directions.	Mt. Carrigain with firetower from Signal ridge Click on image for larger view
