THE SCAUR: 11/12/12

Carol and I enjoyed a hike to our favorite mini-mountain in Waterville Valley on an Indian Summer day with temps in the low 60s by noontime! We took our usual route via Livermore Trail, Kettles Path and Scaur Trail; this presumably bear-damaged sign is at the Kettles/Scaur junction.

Hazy view south to Sandwich Dome.

Middle & South Tripyramid to the SE.

Relaxin' in the sun - at 61 degrees!

Mt. Osceola to the NW.

East Osceola and the Painted Cliff.

Mt. Tecumseh with not a speck of snow on the ski slopes. But a string of good snowmaking nights followed this balmy day. We probably won't see 60 again until April.
