Pharoah Mountain 5-29-10

I know it has been a while since I have put up new entries but it hasn't been for the lack of content. Over the last month and a half we have been very busy hiking, backpacking, kayaking and the like.

The first I want to talk about is the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. Located south of the High Peak region in the Adirondacks, it is a large and relatively quite stretch of woods.
We headed for the peak, 6.3 miles in and about 1,400 elevation gain.
What is hard to see in this picture is the size of these trees, the forest is old and for the most part untouched. I have never seen pine trees this big.
It became clear this area reaquired further exploration at a later date...
On the peak of Pharaoh Mountain. Not entirely bald but some beautiful open sections of rock, even a part where we both stretched out with our socks off and enjoyed the heat.
Sal claims all he can see.
