While hiking this short section of the Appalachian trail, I managed to spot this Porcupine up on a tree limb. When I first arrived, it was sitting like on a bench facing the sunset. Enjoyable hike with a few viewpoints, the summit being raised by a boulder pile to see over the treeline on Bear Mountain.

The forest at golden hour, in the lowest branch near center frame the porcupine may be seen.
