| Day One. Not much drainage into Marcy Dam Pond. |
 |
| Rocky ascent on Lake Arnold Trail to get closer to the high peaks |
 |
| Old ties on Lake Arnold Trail, with moss grown up to their tops. |
 |
| Rugged beauty |
 |
| Lake Tear of the Cloud with Marcy hovering over |
 |
| View south from Mt. Skylight |
 |
| Skylight garden |
 |
| Mt Haystack from Skylight |
 |
| Marcy's hulking mass from Skylight. She's a lot more impressive from this side. |
 |
| Me and Marcy. Brisk wind. |
 |
| Down Skylight.... |
 |
| ...and up Marcy |
 |
| Almost there |
 |
| Enjoying a rest on Marcy. Happy to be done with the big climbs. The guy who took our photo was only the second person we had seen for several hours. |
 |
| Going down the other side. |
 |
| A long, rocky descent back to camp. |
 |
| Day Two, heading up to Big Slide Mountain |
 |
| Lots of cool scrambles up over the Three Brothers |
 |
| Views were worth the tired legs |
 |
| This old forest was almost creepy at times. In a good way. |
 |
| Out to a big slide (!) below Big Slide summit. |
 |
| Following a rock creek bed down to Johns Brook Lodge. Nice to be leveling off after another steep, boulder-filled down. |
 |
| Friends at camp welcomed us back. (So yeah, camp was just us and the chipmunks.) |
