Thank you for the kind comments! -- A mishap on the trail back in April. Broke the ulna bone... pretty much healed now, but I've been wearing the cast while hiking. It was a good call for Huntington Ravine! =)

Beautiful shots! They bring back some pleasant memories.

Thank you for the kind comments! We did it as a day trip on 3/20/13... it does make for a long day. I had hoped that this time we'd be able to include Hamlin Peak, but we got a later start than anticipated on Sunday morning.

Lots more photos at http://jonathantr.zenfolio.com/2015_03_bsp (gallery) or http://jonathantr.zenfolio.com/2015_03_bsp/slideshow (slide show).

The last day of the last weekend of the '14-'15 Baxter State Park winter season, and it was spectacular. We sledded in to the Abol Campground on Saturday 3/28, summited and sledded out Sunday 3/29. I will post photos soon. In the meantime, here is three-minute video shot at the summit.

Thank you, most kind. It is a "mirrorless" camera... Sony NEX-6.

It was a chilly start, but blue skies and (very) light winds made for a great day to be above treeline. We used microspikes then switched over to snowshoes. We were going to do Madison, but found ourselves running short on daylight and so headed back down Air Line. Slide show: go to the...

Nice shots! We also summited just before 1:00 PM.

Thanks Dave! Most kind, much appreciated. Here is a slide show from the hike. Happy holidays to all.

Via Tuckerman Ravine Trail and the Lion Head Trail "summer" route. There were many people using crampons. I wore Hillshounds as far as the upper summer route/winter route junction, and snowshoes from there. I carried an ice axe but used trekking poles the whole way. Mostly in the clouds on...

I enjoyed that - thanks guys. I've driven by that old site hundreds of times, but have never walked back in to have a look. I'll have to do that. I'll also send the URL of this page to a couple friends who are engineers. I am sure they'll enjoy your tour!

"Use it or lose it" is my employer's policy w/regard to vacation days. Also good words to live by... although in my case, at age 54, "Use it and lose it" might be more apropos. =) Anyway, I'm using up some leftover 2014 vacation time. And Friday 11/14 was a great day to not be at work. A...

Thank you Billy! (1) built-in "miniature" effect on the camera - creates a strip of in-focus and strips of blur - also punches up the saturation. (2) 10-stop neutral density filter. mine is an Ebay cheapie... =) search for "10 stop ND" in your filter size. Jonathan
