  • Tomorrow's destination, Mt. Isolation, is just behind the clouds to the east
  • My final destination for the day.  The AMC Lakes of the Clouds hut
  • I'll be spending the next two nights here
  • Mt. Washington behind the hut
  • A closer look at the summit of Mt. Washington
  • Looking up to Mt. Monroe.  I decided to skip this peak tonight and get it tomorrow
  • Looking west from the hut over the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail
  • Large propane tanks behind the hut are used for the cooking stoves and auxiliary generator
  • Looking southwest towards Bretton Woods
  • A Google Earth representation of day 1 of the hike... starting on the right and going to the left
  • The start of day 2.  Just leaving the hut for my hike
  • The summits are in the clouds this morning
  • Entering a small patch of trees along the Camel Trail on the way up to the Boott Spur
  • Looking back along the trail to the hut which is now behind the clouds
  • Up to the Davis Path now
  • Hiking along the Boott Spur, you could only make out the next few cairns at best
  • Time to turn downhill on the Davis Path just before the summit of Boott Spur
  • With conditions like this, it's always good to review a map and your route ahead of time
  • Coming down to treeline
  • In the trees and headed downhill on the Davis Path
