Rare sunset the evening before |

the ferns and moss get to enjoy some sunshine |

rock strewn ascent |

first good view from the trail |

onto the open summit |

three-toothed cinquefoil in fall colors |

a couple more scrambles |

view toward Lake Placid |

Whiteface |

and Giant |

nice crystals |

peek at Giant |

and Balanced rocks |

the Great Range in silhouette |

the rock is in focus but also a bit of evidence it was a warm day |
