A glimpse of the climb to come |

soon enough staring down |

and nearing the steep rock on the ridge |

a splendid view |

last glimpse of the gap as reaching the ridge |

at the winter trail junction, a detour above palmerton |

with views of the industry |

an views of the old terraces used for the detour |

eventually reaching power lines |

the trail sneaks away from the views into woods |

wanting a view for lunch |

I scramble open rock to the ridge where there is seating for several |

views south |

and grand vistas north |

a fine lunch spot indeed |

I follow the ridge back to the power lines, lead by paths in the grass |

a tree on the ridge |

descending back to the terraces |

views over the city |

the Gap now in glare |

a lovely descent |

along the winter trail |

visited by a bird as nearing the car |
