• Whiteface Mountain Excursion
  • The best day of our whole vacation and we decide to go up Whiteface by gondola
  • This was Karen's only day off in two weeks and our only day with NO rain!
  • After two weeks in the wilds carrying a pack up these mountains a gondola ride is pretty nice!
  • A gorgeous day! Looking east at the Green Mountains of Vermont
  • The gondola only gets you to here - Little Whiteface Mtn.
  • Looking down on Lake Placid - site of two winter Olympiads
  • Karen and I decide to hike up to the real summit! Here looking back at the gondola terminus
  • Hiking along the rocks and ski trails to the final vertical stretch
  • The last 500 feet have ropes to help you up over the steep rocks
  • Climbing up fixed ropes on the last 500 feet to the summit of Whiteface
  • Looking back on Little Whiteface, gondola, and crossing the main trail up Whiteface
  • A beautiful sky over the High Peaks of the Adirondacks
  • We made the summit! I think that trail should count as reaching the summit by HIKING!
  • Looking down the north side where the road leads to just below the summit
  • View NE from Whiteface Mountain
  • View SE from Whiteface Mountain
  • View South from the summit area
  • Karen has hiked over most of these! Marcy, Algonquin, Dix, Iriquois, Giant, Saddleback, Boundary
