On the old road to Marcy Dam |
Marcy Dam |
lots of new signage |
lake arnold |
snow on the trail |
hint of a view from the col |
the NE colden slide |
bridge mostly out |
old boardwalks |
are a bit too tenuous for me |
so I walk down the river instead |
regain the trail at feldspar |
rinsing the gravel from my shoes |
at the outlet to lake tear of the clouds |
which offers a view of marcy |
snow impedes the way |
lunch on skylight with its views all around |
grass returning to life |
a peek at the summit of Marcy |
lapland rosebay |
leatherleaf I presume |
alpine azalea buds |
moss and clubmoss on the descent |
reaching wide views on the climb of marcy |
still more climbing to do |
a look back at skylight |
and the colden slide |
a raven soars |
I pose |
summit vegetation |
a photographer |
alpine clump just starting to awaken after winter |
the descent beckons |
haystack and an alpine bog |
boardwalk |
more snow |
a glimpse of tabletop |
a good rest at indian falls |
cones getting a start |
bluets |
