Squam Lake

Before I begin to post all the places I want to go some day, I thought I would start with a picture of a beautiful place I have already been.  The picture you are looking at is of Squam Lake, which is not that far of a drive from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.  If you are a student of PSU and have not hiked up Rattlesnake Mountain in Holderness, N.H., I suggest you do.  I love to hike and this is by far one of the prettiest pictures I have ever taken of the view at the end of a hike.  The hike up to this view is fairly easy and about an hour both ways.  I remember the day I went up here with my friends, at the top there is a huge boulder you need to climb up to see the view and I was scared to climb up the rock.  They all said that I absolutely needed to see the view so I pushed aside my fear and it was totally worth it.  The lakes region is a gorgeous area in New England and it is pictures like these that make me happy to be from here.
