Warm Springs Mountain Hikes (Bald Knob & Ingalls Overlook Trails)

Six guys from GO (plus Heidi the dog) joined a group of about ten other folks from the Nature Conservancy for a hike up Warm Springs Mountain to the Bald Ridge lookout tower in Virginia. After the Bald Ridge hike, five of us continued over to try the short Ingalls Overlook trail where the leaves were in prime color.  Due to the mild weather and clear air, views were excellent in all directions.

Red Ridge Hike on Moat Mountain

On a near perfect autumn day three old friends, Charley, Brian, and John, and by old I mean they’ve known each other for a long time, and a new friend, also named John, began their day in the parking lot of the Baths.

White Mountains Backpack/Fall Foliage

I'm psyched to report that Katahdin and I did my first pointless (no peaks, no famous destination) backpack, bear canister and all, this past Thursday night.  I took the Austin Brook trail up to Gentian Pond which I shared with a trio of very fun, very nice (and one very attractive) guys.  Next morning I hiked out via Moss Pond, Dream Lake

Over the Top

Blowouts and meltdowns and bears ... oh my. Our "Yosemite: the other side of the rainbow" backpack July 4th weekend was one incredible journey. Okay, it's a far cry from the Wizard of Oz, but you've got to admit if any two places earned rainbow ends, it would be the Grand Canyon and Yosemite.
