Mt Crawford is in the Shenandoah Valley about five miles South of Harrisonburg and adjacent to Bridgewater. It is on the old highway and consists of only a dozen or so houses.
Mt. Hood as seen from Sunrise Park in Troutdale. After many days of terrible weather up there, it was a good clear day for searchers to continue looking for the missing climbers up there.
(I took my new Nikon D40 out to the Gorge to give it a test run. I also brought my compact PowerShot, but this was the only comparison shot I took. I almost like this one better than the one I took with the Nikon, which seems to have given the hills, mountain, and sky a more bluish tint than the Powershot did. They were both set on Auto White Balance.)
Mt Rogers, in belconnen, dwarfed bu the beautiful cumulus on the eve of australia day. When you look at the size of the houses, and the large mobile phone radio tower it really emphasises the size of the cloud.
Ingrid and I met a trio of college age girls at the Z Bar in Midtown Reno a few weeks ago, and we offered to take them to the top of Mt Rose (10,785 feet). I never expected to hear from them again, but they were game and wanted to go.
Once they agreed to go it became kind of important to me because while two of the girls were from Michigan, one was a Reno native and had looked up at Mt Rose her entire life. I wanted her to finally stand on top.
So we all met at the trailhead (8,900 feet) at 7:30.
It was a very long day because we took a long lunch break at the Wilderness sign and also at the top. We knew thunderstorms were forecast for the afternoon, but I wasn’t concerned since I assumed we’d be off the mountain by noon. In fact, we watched the storm move in from the south as we stood on the summit, and hurried back down in the rain and thunder. Once we were back down to the meadow the rain slacked off and the thunder and lightening seemed to be behind us. We got back to the parking lot at 3:30, which was kind of nuts. But everyone had a good time and it sounds like they want to do more of this. Happily, we got the toughest hike (11 miles round trip) out of the way first.
The Gaia GPS track for this hike is located here.

Panorama from the Mt.Whiteface. You can clearly say the Lake Placid down on the valley.
Not a perfect condition for shot at the noon but the view was still rewarding after 3 hours ascending from weather station.
Stitched from 7 vertical shots.
ever get that over welming urge tohave your hiking boots planted on a spot somewhere, like a distant peak? i get that every time i look at this picture.
Mt. Washington neighborhood is called this because it was supposedly the spot where George Washington first looked over the area that became Pittsburgh.
Mt. Graylock is located in the northwestern corner of Massachusetts and is the state's highest point. We noticed, while doing some internet research before leaving home, the there is a lodge nearby. Bascom Lodge had some rooms available so we booked one for the night in advance. Dinner, while expensive, was available so we submitted a reservation for that as well. Staying at the lodge put us in position for some evening and sunrise photography without having to drive up/down the mountain several times. We arrived on site early enough to go inside the tower and climb the spiral staircase to the top. Later, we sat through a park ranger's presentation covering the history of Mt. Graylock, the tower, and Bascom Lodge.
