Heading up Round through lovely forest |

getting a glimpse of views |

and reaching expansive views |

cloud shroud Dix |

I enjoy lunch |

views of the mountains |

groves in the rock |

catching the easy to miss signs |

down to an old beaver pond |

facing the ascent of Noonmark |

reaching boreal |

and the grand Noonmark views |

clouds over the lower ausable |

I enjoy the sunshine |

and head down |

The next day brings a surprise: a real trail up Jay |

new route |

old stone wall |

new trail |

first |

views |

the ridge to follow |

lovely rock |

favorite rest spot |

wide views under the clouds |

into the last col |

looking back |

I go find the 3 markers |

enjoy the vegetation |

a chickadee |

the rocks |

and some fall colors |
