Hike to Whiteface, Hurricane and Jay
July 2003

Camp

Whiteface

Hurricane and Jay

Shoe box Falls was low and calm	I headed out for a climb of Whiteface from Connery Pond. I spooked lots of grouse and eventually made it to Lake Placid	Here is Whiteface landing
The weather switched between sun, rain and cloud for the entire trip. Here is a view of the ski trail	Above treeline	Climbing under the clouds
The summit of Whiteface. I definietley like this approach to Whiteface	As I headed back to camp, the sun came out near Keene, so I scrambled up Hurricane mountian	where I sneaked a peek at the Jay wilderness under the clouds
Summit marker	But it soon was raining	And I had dinner in the rain
The rain stopped, so I visited the beaver dam	and saw a beaver	Breakfast at the roadside swimming hole
The trailhead to Jay Mt	In the clouds yuk	A peak
Stream bed rocks on a summit	Clouds lifting	But the real Jay Mt is quite bit further
A stump	The Jay ridge	Visited by another Raven perhaps
Lunch time	View of the Whiteface ski slopes	and a storm crossing Lake Champain
And a return to a sunny shoe box falls. But it was raining before I packed up and got gear back to the car.
