This is one of the best outlooks along the Lion Head trail section - you can see the trail continuing toward the end of the ridge where it descends below treeline. Our turnoff to the left is hidden by the immediate ridge and the krummholz (Balsam Fir and Black Spruce, forced to small size by the intense weather (they typically grow over 50 feet below treeline), these matted "bushes" may be over 100 years old [Alpine Zone of the Presidential Range, Bliss]). Beyond Lion Head is Wildcat Ski Area. Notice the distinctive notch between two of the mountains beyond it - you can see it again in the next picture. (The mountains may be Chandler (right) and Sable Mountain (left)).
