At the trailhead, greeted by a friendly dog |

on the old road in colors |

Marcy dam in the gray |

a bit more easy hiking |

portrait 2 |

ready to climb |

and we climb to lake arnold |

a pose |

bugs and pads |

nice trailside |

a nice scramble |

gathering on the rock |

and above the cloud |

we lunch |

beside the alpine vegetation |

a bit down |

more up |

a pose |

and another |

under the rock |

and out |

some mud |

we make it the summit |

mud sandals |

a pose |

the steep descents begin |

tammarck |

descent |

descent |

between the rocks |

celebrating life |

carefully |

descending on |

wet rock |

to lake colden |

a smile |

soon enough at avalanche lake |

the trap dike in the clouds |

boardwalk |

along the cliffs |

crazy walkways |

finding mud at the lake's end |

a pose |

back to marcy dam |

back toward south meadow in the fall colors |

we pose |

stretch, gag |

all feet on the ground in the morning |

some easy walking |

a lovely stream |

climbing through colors |

almost there |

final scramble |

through colors |

offer some fine views |

modeling his ushanka |

above the forest |

everyone |

has |

smiles |

we pose |

smiles |

huddle |

play with dogs at the lookout |

back to the cars |

through fall colors |
