That was in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, on a smaller peak that is known to locals, and provides a 360 degree view for very little effort. The last bit near the top is “a wee bit scrambly,” as they say in the British Isles.
Where I hiked the next day, Mt. Jefferson, is more than a wee bit scrambly. The northern Presidentials are all well above tree line, and involve miles of rock hopping and scrambling. This is the highest peak in the northeast, Mt. Washington, yesterday from the summit of Jefferson. It has an auto road and a cog railway and is where the tourists go. When I was on the summit of Jefferson there was only one couple, from England, and we had a nice chat since I had just been in the Lakes District.
Great picture thanks for posting. When I first looked at it I thought it has a real similarity to Mt Snowdon in Wales.

My better half stopped at the Liquor store today. Our wine rack was severely depleted. It's all good now.
