Scenic gems of the White Mountains . If there be one pageant more impressive than another, when viewed from these heights, it is the by no means rare moments when the Artistof the Clouds is shifting and changing their movements round the peaks, or tumbling the great folds forward and backward.

Scenic gems of the White Mountains . If there be one pageant more impressive than another, when viewed from these heights, it is the by no means rare moments when the Artistof the Clouds is shifting and changing their movements round the peaks, or tumbling the great folds forward and backward. Then the massivewalls of mist are rolled over the chasms on the sides of Mt. Washington, and are tumbled against Mts. Adams and Madison, as if in solemn frolicwith their peers. Meanwhile the mists are welcoming the first beams of the morning sun, which gives to them royal sky tints. Mt. Washingtonssummit is a great field for cloud-play. No matter how great may be the promise of a cloudless day, the scuds of clouds soon begin to play aroundit, or some heavy mist will be caught by it and retained, to hang like a coronet upon the mountains brow.
