Short Cool Winter Hike to Cascade and Porter           

Nearest parking was a roadwalk from North Boquet River	Stomping out a tent site	Camp nearly setup
Roadside swimming hole	shoe box falls	View downstream
At the top of the falls	Beaver dam broached upstream -- but intake further up	The night was cool, -9F in Keene Valley, but three foam pads did the trick for me
Climbing Cascade	Into the trees	Treeline
Junction	View of the peak	Barely a glimpse under the clouds
Pausing out of the fierce wind	View on the peak	and another
Climbers heading for the summit	Trail to Porter	Big Rock on the way
Near summit	Still windy but with a view of Cascade	and a glimpse of Big Slide
