View from the road
When I shoot pics while I'm driving I just hold the camera up and click - I don't look to compose the shot....
I was aiming for the Moose Sign - there were other moose signs that just had a picture of a moose, they were cooler!
Entering Grafton Notch State Park!
From the “information turn out”
Another view from the information turn out
Sign at the turnout
Parking lot for the hiking trails
My little RV and the mountains!
It's just a mile to Table Rock!
This is the AT symbol - I have never seen it built like this before! Very cool!
The trail started nice and level with boards to walk on, I assume this area is perpectually muddy!
One of the 1st views along the trail
A lot of the way up was stone steps - I'm assuming the Maine Applachian Trail Club made them, or maybe the State of Maine since it's a state park, but whoever made them did a great job - it was NOT easy to build them!
A few spots had iron rungs to climb up - these were very easy to manage, I'd been worried about them, but it was easy!
I just came up that...this was before it got really hard too!
This is where things are getting a bit more challenging!
The ferns on top of that rock made it look like a Chia Pet! Ch ch ch ch..chia....
Yep, that's the trail. You can kinda make out the orange blaze on the top rock.
I did not like this rock. I had to shimmy myself across, and there was a giant hole under it.....Luckly this was the only not so good spot.
This is actually and easy section - see the dirt? That made it so you could actually walk a bit instead of crawling!
For once I didn't have to go over, under or through this!
You can just barely make out a truck on the road below - just to the right of the Y shaped tree.
Pic didn't come out - this was the top of a very narrow rock staircase.
That's the Moose Cave overlook - didn't actually go to that one, I passed it before I realized it and couldn't turn in!
That's the parking lot! The white things are the tops of the busses the kids came in....my RV is to the left, it's hidden by the trees - had I realized I could see it I would have parked on the other side!
Look, the trail is level and rock free - for about a foot.

Another Iron Rung ladder to get down from Table Rock
The blue blazed trail headed to the AT - look at the difference!
Stream that ran alongside the blue blazed trail.
The AT!
See the white blaze?
Cool waterfalls in the stream
This was the coolest waterfall of all...
This is about as rocky at the downhill part got!
Looking up on where I'd been
Looking back at the table rock from the turn out up the road
My little RV parked along South Arm Road
Moos tracks? They don't look quite big enough, maybe they are deer.
There were a lot of these cool little flowers - I think they were clover flowers.
Another Chia Rock!
Clover moss!
Wish I'd seen this sign at the beginning, I was likely almost to the top!
Moody Mt from South Arm Road
