Sunrise on Mt. Tom
If you were to step off my sidewalk onto the street in front of my house and look directly west, you’d see this visually stunning peak standing guard over the town. Its called Mt. Tom, and gets its name from the Thomas Creek that runs by it.
I got the idea one day that it’d be cool to hike up to the very summit one day. But it looks rather intidimating. All that snow and steep ravines. I looked around online and the general word seems to be that it is not a difficult climb, just long and strenous, given that it rises almost 10,000 feet above the valley floor.
I’m going to try to talk to some people around here, see if I find some more information about how to get to the summit, and mabye one day this spring, I’ll just hike up that dang thing.
