"A" Hike August 5 Owl's Head

Five of the A group (Doug, Larry, Pamela, Dick, and Frank) made the long 7 or 8 mile trek into the Pemigewasset Wilderness, then a very steep mile up the steep rock slide and "trail" through the trees on the west side of Owls Head, and finally a few tenths of a mile north along the ridge to the true summit. Below are pics of Dick at the small summit cairn and of the east side of the Franconia Ridge a thousand feet higher, a view the tourists can't see at all. Then it was back down that treacherous slide. The long trek back to the cars was relatively easy walking compared to that slide.

Below are Pam and Doug at the impressive Owl's Head summit cairn.
