An early start into the Dix wilderness |
I didn't capture a grouse faking hurt |
another stream crossing |
beaver pond reflection |
to open rock on the Dix stream |
a great spot for breakfast |
more lovely stream |
soon onto the shoulder |
back to the stream |
and onto the other shoulder |
back to bedrock |
the sign it is time to cut off the main stream |
new jumble at the base of the slide |
the slide |
the views begin |
more to go |
more views |
cranberry blossoms |
the wall |
above the wall |
views |
great views |
from the top |
big clouds |
view of the east dix slide |
blue bead lily blooms |
looking back at Dix |
mountain sandwort |
white admiral |
a few sprinkles along the way; clouds get |
threatening |
but I enjoy a fine lunch at the top of the east dix slide |
fine views |
and the descent begins |
it is a beautiful slide |
last views from the slide |
mushrooms and the rain begins |
Next day, climbing toward a knob near iron mountain
|
a hint I think |
into the woods |
sort of a view |
quite a view |
mosey further |
juniper |
old survey anchors |
ahead lies iron |
blueberries |
other flowers |
lots of rocks |
a view toward giant |
a pose |
and I wasn't the only one to think it might be nice to cool off at split rock falls |
