Mt. Major hike review

By Abinaya Ganesh and Christina Ilie

Last Saturday, we went hiking with Mr.DeFusco and Mrs.Sullivan up Mt. Major in Alton, NH. Mrs.Sullivan’s two dogs, Nemo and Pepper, joined us too! A group of nine students on the 14th of October met at 8:30 a.m. at Wood Hill. We split into two groups, got in the car, and started the 2 hour drive up to New Hampshire. When we got there, it was very crowded. People swarmed around like bees, just people everywhere! We finally started our trek up the mountain. Pepper and Nemo seemed the most enthusiastic to start hiking. The scenery was beautiful that high up. We kept stopping to take pictures, and we weren’t even at the top yet!

When we got to the top, we ate lunch, with the company of many bees and wasps. We waited about 15 minutes for Mrs. Sullivan and her dogs. We later found out that they lost the easy trail and had to come up with the hard one. We took a 30 minute lunch break, then started back down the mountain. Going down was harder than I thought it would be. At one point, we had to walk sideways to get down. Going down, we met a very friendly dog. He tried to pick up my friend, but she fell off the dog. To get to the cars, we had to walk along the very busy road. Unfortunately, Nemo and Pepper are TERRIFIED of cars. We got back school cheerful but tired. Overall, I think we all had an awesome experience.
