Ducks chilling |
onto the water |
watching |
hesitant boater |
first lookout on the way to Giant |
above Chapel Pond |
Giant's washbowl |
a scramble |
checking the view |
we reach open rock |
a rest |
onward |
we go |
Indian pipes |
a glimpse of the summit |
ascending |
a challenging scramble |
onto the summit |
the view |
a rest |
we take the path less traveled |
to the east |
some tricky descent |
nearing Rocky Peak Ridge |
resting slightly out of the wind on RPR |
a pose |
more to the east |
we follow the ridge |
a blink of the lake |
a board walk |
descending |
new bridge |
still views |
more to the east |
east shoulder, more to descend |
but we can see home |
the boulder |
on bald |
a couple more hours descending |
