Madison shows the patterns of krummholz, the shattered alpine rock, blowdowns in the forest, and even a trail - the Daniel Webster Trail. Because of the intense haze on that day, this photo has been extensively processed. 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 - A Cairn Just Below Glen Boulder On the Glen Boulder Trail just below Glen Boulder the combination of rocks, sandy trail and krummholz forms a natural prototype for the "oriental garden". The cairn marks the trail, but also offers a fascinating ordered accent. In the remote distance you can see the Osgood Ridge heading up toward the summit of Mt. Madison. The ridge directly across the ravine is an unnamed ridge beyond which lies the Gulf Of Slides. Just barely visible beyond it (above and to the right of the cairn tip) is the Boot Spur. See also…

Lion Head Trail - View From Near Tuckerman's Ravine Trail 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)). See also… 8/1/2001 |
