The Weeks Act in 1901 helped created the White Mountains Forests. Near the end of September 2016 I traveled the Weeks Act Legacy Trail(weeksactlegacytrail.org.) I began at the Saco Ranger Station in Conway and drove the Kancamagus Highway to Lincoln.

I stopped at various places along the highway to see the sites. I rediscovered something I've known for years, cloud cover can actually enhance a mountain's presence.
