How many campers can you pack in a jeep? |

organizing at the trailhead |

deorganized as it be |

setting camp at twilight |

clear skies offer a moon light glow and a very cold night; the stillness disturbed by manical laughter of coyotes |

up the trail in the morning |

lovely stream |

where the coyotes made their kill |

a stately dead tree |

the first lookout |

red pine |

posing at the end of blueberry cobble |

the view |

taking a break: the sky is blue in just the right direction |

steep climbing |

a view from Bald |

summit cairn |

encased in clear ice |

a distant view of Giant |

descending |

to the boulder |

that serves as a windscreen |

windswept ridge end |

tough guys ascending the east shoulder of Rocky Peak Ridge |

shelf mushrooms supporting snow |

climbing passed ice encrusted trees |

ascending passed the ice wall |

ice covered ascent |

weeping trees |

ice covered |

leaning |

nearing the east shoulder of Rocky Peak Ridge |

climb on |

on the shoulder: a glimpse of Giant |

a distant view of Whiteface |

a welcome break at Lake Marie Louise |

lake view |

return through the |

heavy loaded trees |

bent |

smiling |

this really is the trail |

the ice wall |

adjustments with a view |

back to Bald |

steep descent |
