Saddleback and Basin

Pete and I hiked in along John's Brooke and set up camp Friday afternoon. We got up Saturday and did a 10 mile loop which included Saddleback and Basin. We descended the pictured face of Saddleback which was a bugger. If I do it again, I'd rather climb up that thing. Look at the tiny people! Anyway the picture is from Basin which is #9 in elevation of the ADK Mountains. A nice weekend...

Looks like descending would be easy except for a couple sudden stops.

Yeah, it's not so much the falling as the stopping falling...

Wow. That looks like some serious terrain.

You and Pete must be in very good shape. Ten miles of THAT is like a marathon of flat land. Or more.

Just follow the yellow stripe trail... I think coming down would be twice as bad.
