  • Lots of greenery around early on the Old Halfway House Trail
  • A gentle section of trail that is always nice walk
  • Briefly waiting for my wife, I spotted these small bright little mushrooms
  • Up to the site of the old halfway house and the first view of the summit
  • Looking out to the southwest at the old halfway house view point
  • The summit lies ahead
  • One of the spots trails go back into the trees at the old halfway house site
  • Another spot the trails go back into the woods, and the choice we are taking.  The sign is currently missing
  • Getting a little steep along a side hill on the Do Drop Trail
  • The trail continues up and over some rocky areas
  • Small spruce cones next to the trail
  • Just before the Do Drop Trail comes out onto the Cliff Walk Trail
  • A small open area along the Cliff Walk Trail
  • View southeast from the Cliff Walk Trail
  • Wind turbines off in the distance.  You could see 5 of them (4 in this picture) to the south from this spot
  • Blueberry bushes next to the rocks along the trail.  They were very good, and I had to keep telling my wife we needed to continue up the trail
  • The view up to the summit from Bald Rock/Kiasticuticus Peak
  • The carving in a large rock on Bald Rock/Kiasticuticus Peak
  • A closer look at the summit from Bald Rock
