Hike with Marilyn to OwlHead Lookout
January 2009
5.8 miles
Cumulative Ascent:
1560 feet.
We stop to watch an ice climber on roaring brook falls
A keene valley house
roadside cliffs in ice -- climbers prepare
Cascade lake
We park barely off the road
and we are off
fine trail
grand trees
careful crossings
me too
bark and snow
tree wells on the climb
walls of ice
woodpecker
poptarts
snow on the shelfs
now the real ascent
steep climb
we pose
drifts and gray clouds
but it is cold and windy
hint of the view
wide and lovely
the sun struggles
descend we must
one way or another
on downward
snow piles
sap sucker holes
past the wall of ice and soon homeward
