The new and improved summit view is pretty grand. That alpenglow on Starr King was a matter of right place/right time.<br /><br />Keep on trekkin,<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-3786239709942676302013-03-14T12:00:13.065-04:002013-03-14T12:00:13.065-04:00Mark,

Oscar across to Mt. Echo and probably to the next summit. If I recall, the going wasn't bad. There are great view ledges on the back side of Oscar. Back then the ski trails didn't go all the way to the top of Oscar and Rosebrook like they do now. The ski trails are the best bet to get up on the ridge. We may have descended the Ammonoosuc Spring X-C trail from the Bretton Woods mountain cabin up there, can't remember for sure, but you could run into a current logging operation partway down the slope; it might be best to backtrack. Have fun exploring!<br /><br />The alpenglow pictures were pure luck. I got a late start and was coming out late and all of a sudden the sun appeared.<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-82754380877995782772013-03-13T14:27:45.262-04:002013-03-13T14:27:45.262-04:00Looks like you had a great day up there.

Great report and photos.<br /><br />I've enjoyed your last 2 4K adventures as well. You squeezed about as much out of Tecumseh for views that I've seen anyone do. And those late day photos on the Starr King trail were stunning.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />Joe<br />JustJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657236449099527872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-34129574842538421912013-03-13T11:39:31.959-04:002013-03-13T11:39:31.959-04:00A fine circuit and a great report!

Snowmobile trail from Zealand rd? Is it worth while or just a piece of spruce hell up there?<br />Steve, always a pleasure to view your photos and text from your field reports. I may not comment all that much but please know that I am following along. Merci beaucoup,<br />Mark(formely of Freedom, now at Silver lake,Madison). PS... Amazing pictures of Alpenglow from your Waumbeck foray on 3/8/13!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
