Lost Pond Trail - A View Of Huntington Ravine Huntington Ravine is a massive remain of the last glaciers in New England. A glacial cirque, it shows the typical bowl shape, and is extremely steep - some of the most difficult trails in the White Mountains ascend its slopes. The Huntington Ravine Trail rises almost directly above the tall tree on the right side of the line of foreground trees. See also… 7/25/2001 |

Pine Mountain Upslope View of Mt. Madison and Mt. Adams Perspective offers a foreshortened view of the Howker Ridge (directly ahead). The Osgood Ridge blocks the horizon to the left, leading to the summit of Mt. Madison (the left of the two closely spaced summits). The most visible summit is actually the summit of Mt. Quincy Adams, with the summit of Mt Adams itself probably the tiny highest point of the visible summit. The cause of the braided texture on the ridge is not known to us. The dark color indicates that those are pines, possibly with lanes of deciduous trees marking the braid. While there are trails in the area (the Pine Link goes up to the left foreground ridge summit), nothing travels through the marked area. Perhaps fire or weather are responsible. See also… 8/1/2001 |

Imp Face Trail Loop - Imp Face Cliff View Of Mt. Madison After a moderately lengthy steep trail section, this is the view that you take the Imp Face trail to attain. The entire east side of the Presidential Range is visible from this location, looking west. On some days, this cliff can be quite crowded, but you can walk down the trail to the east and find a few more private locations. See also… 8/1/2001 |

Glen Boulder Trail - Other Ridges Today is hot and humid - and even above treeline on the Glen Boulder Trail, it shows in the haze between us and the ridges and in the vertical development of the clouds. The next ridge is the south edge of the Gulf of Slides, followed by Boott Spur. The most distant ridge may be the Osgood, which meets up with Mount Madison. See also… 8/1/2001 |
