Clay, that is a gorgeous photo - I love the composition and color! Wish I could have been there to see that! Couldn't make it out for FOT48 but caught sight of the flag on top of the Old Man site when I was out for a quick sunset bushwhack on the other side of the notch. I wondered if the...

Thank you, Patrick, for the compliment on my mushroom photo! I guess a rainy, cloudy day makes one look in less common places for great views. Now, if I could just find one of those moose someday that seem to hang around you! :)

I was up there about a month ago. That stream has a decent enough flow to fill up a water bottle on the lower crossings. The cutoff trail crosses the stream at Eagle Cascade, which was just a trickle coming down a rock slab when I was up there. In the parking area - I do not remember seeing...

Oooh - I just scrolled the full sized pano twice and got dizzy! Almost fell off the mountain! :D

I found hundreds of tiny maple sprouts deep into red foliage colors out by Shoal Pond, plus a scattering of regular sized trees starting up.

Great report, John! I wasn't sure if there was any view from that peak - glad to know that there is. I've traveled up Lost Nation road a few times during Foliage season and wondered if there were any public inlets from that side - I hadn't considered going in from Mill Brook. My map shows a...

Brightly colored mushrooms and green dinosaurs - sounds like you had quite an interesting trip! :D I love those photos - you never know what you'll find in the Kilkenny. :)

Beautiful shots of those views, John - Flume and Liberty definitely deliver when it comes to grand vistas! I've been up the FST a couple of times and had a few uncomfortable moments... I certainly would not rank it anywhere close to one of my favorite trails. That being said, each time I took...

Hey John! I stopped at that same roadside viewpoint on my way to Blueberry Mt. early this spring for some photos, and also headed down to the lake shore to that same spot for some more. Really muddy, and unfortunately the rocky peak of Black Mountain dropped out of sight once I reached the...

Keep those bushwhack reports coming, Jazzbo! I've wanted to traverse this ridge for some time now, but haven't had a chance yet. I can see what I've been missing from your great shots, so I'll have to step this one up on the "to do" list and give it a full day. Thanks for the great reporting! :)

Cool! Great shots - I think I saw one or two of The Captain in there. How was that slide for an ascent route? I am assuming it is the one that scoots up the east side of the valley. Any views to be found from the summit? Looks like a fun day :)

I love that last shot as well, especially the "heavenly rays" coming down from above. You captured that outdoors mood perfectly! :)

Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments! I spent more time attempting to keep the dog from shaking water onto my camera than I did taking photos, so I was surprised a few came out OK. I'll certainly go back someday with a more photo-ready state of mind. There is a second cirque next to this...

I’ve long been intrigued by a small tarn named Bear Pond, or Redrock Pond to others, nestled in a small glacial cirque in the middle of the Pemi Wilderness. It is about as remote a place as you can get in the Pemi, being almost ten miles from any trailhead, and with some of those miles...

That's good news. I was up there last year and tried to follow the old Scudder trail from Mill Brook Rd. It was completely obliterated due to the logging, and there were flags and blazes everywhere that I later realized were cut boundary lines and not trails. I followed a "trail" from the...

Wow, what a great journey, Jazzbo! I love off-trail trip reports like this. I've been wanting to visit Green's Cliff for a while now but have never gotten to it - thanks for taking us there! :)

My dog makes a mission of leaping into every mud puddle, stream and pond that she sees. I gave up on the whole pack idea myself and ended up porting around her supplies as well as mine :o

That's a festive way to finish off! Now you'll have to bring the flamingos to all the other peaks for a new list!

What a great set of photos, and such a nice day for a hike! Thanks for sharing! :)

Not trying to bump this little thread, but I had a few folks who expressed an interest with the mystery falls of Coppermine Brook, so I thought it best to make one last post to finalize the story. At least now anyone searching for mention of these two falls online will have a bit more to go on...
