Bushwhack Little Haystack to Owl’s Head?

[Flounder]

Does anyone on the list have any experience bushwhacking from Little Haystack or Lincoln to Owl’s head?

The Lincoln Slide is the old route to Owls Head before the trails in the valley were cut. There's a bit of meneuvering at the top to avoid the krumholz and some whacking at the bottom over to the trail. Every year a number of folks do this.

Here's a report with some pictures: Owls Head via Lincoln Slide report

I stayed in Greenleaf Hut the night before, which saved a bit of time and elevation gain, as opposed to starting at the road and going up Falling Waterrs or Old Bridle Path. You might also camp at Liberty Springs for a similar head start.

Have fun. The Two slide make a nice day if it's clear.

I've been wanting to hike down the Lincoln slide to Owl's head ever since THIS THREAD. Still on my radar for late August or September.
