Cascade, Porter, and Giant (Day Off Hike #3) [8 of 46]

View from Cascade

The last 2 day offers left on top of Cascade (no, andrew doesn't usually have a fro, and yes, it was windy)
Summit of Porter

Random keys and shoe at Giant Mtn trailhead
Chipmunk who decided that my log was the scrait place to be
In remembrance of The Wolf/Agent Bumper Tree
It took a while to get a picture of this little shrew that Andrew saw on the edge of the trail. He was only about an inch long.

Our little summit friend :)
We didn't feel like asking anyone to take a picture, so here's our self-portrait :

Esther and Whiteface (Day Off Hike #2) [5 of 46]

At the old ski lodge ready to head up
A dog house along the trail? A nasty spot to sleep? Nope! A picture op!

Agent Mudslinger, Agent Caboose, and Agent Bumper Tree (haha)

Snakey!

The view from Marcy Dam
Pausing for a picture on the trail (really just an excuse to rest for a minute!)


View from Algonquin
We came up with fun nick-names for all of us. I was first mate. I believe Kristin is going to post a more detailed account on her blog.
At the top of Algonquin, the 2nd highest peak in NY!

View from Iroquois (i think)
Atop of Iroquois

....alas, Andrew didn't bring his camera up Wright so we didn't get pictures.
