Nimbus T. Cat lives with the scientists who work and study at Mount Washington's famous Observatory. But what's a curious cat to do when everyone around him is busy? Go for a hike of course!
Join Nimbus in the beautiful White Mountains as he hikes his way through the autumn fog, skitters to safety on the winter ice, battles through the blustery spring, and finds refuge at the Observatory during a summer thunderstorm. When he's done exploring, you can find him greeting visitors and admiring the view.
