My dad arrived the next morning and we finished packing up and headed up towards Kearsarge Pass under cloudy skies.

As we climbed, the clouds grew, and it started to rain for a bit as we passed Flower Lake. Fortunately there were no indications of a thunderstorm, so we put our coats on and continued up.

Clouds over Heart Lake.

A slight break in the clouds revealed University Peak to the south. This was as we approached Kearsarge Pass.

Kearsarge Pass. We didn’t have any company on Kearsarge Pass on this cloudy, midweek, late-season day.

The storm looked a little bit more active to the west. We made our way down from the pass and found a campsite in the trees near one of the Kearsarge Lakes.

Some nice golden hour photos of the Kearsarge Pinnacles.

And a lovely view west of the clearing storm.
