Route: Foss Mountain Trail, (Foss Mountain North Peak), Foss Mountain Trail

Not wanting to let a nice fall day slip away, I headed over to Foss Mountain for a brief jog. The blueberry fields were quite colorful with various colored shrubs. Reaching the summit, there were excellent views of the Presidentials.

The sunset was quite nice as well - pleasant temperatures, too.
