Up the river to the beaver dam |

The next morning, starting from Keene Valley |

The views from Rooster's Comb are impressive |

It seems like you could take a short cut back to the trail, but the sign seems to say no. |

The view from Hedgehog |

Looking back on Rooster comb from Lower Wolf Jaw. Glad I didn't take a short cut |

Getting a view along the great range from Lower Wolf Jaw |

and I meet the first hikers of the day |

More hikers on Upper Wolf Jaw |

Lunch on Armstrong |

The col between Armstrong and Gothics is beautiful |

Lodge on the lower ausable |

You can see the scars of the Floyd fire on Noonmarks shoulder |

An old marker on Gothics |

and a great view |

even from inside crevices |

Ladder makes easy work of a memorable ledge |

After returning to lower Wolf Jaw, I try to find the slide. After wandering a bit, I find it a little ways down. |

The slide offers great views |

Johns Brook near the base. |

More of the brook |

The famous Noonmark diner in Keene Valley. |

The morning fog lifts as I drive to Upper works. |

I intend to hike through Indian Pass and scout a route from Walface pond to MacNaughton. That is impractical. |

My camera dies photgraphing the scarey bridge with missing slat, and I settle for a hike through Indian Pass, over to flowed land, and back to upper works. But I had a wonderful hike on a beautiful day. |
