A great day for a hike! Five of us, including Amy DeVries on her first Tramp outing, started out from Mapledale right at 7 a.m. Before we got to Old Forge, we were stopped to wait for a moose making up its mind which way to head out of the north bound lane. The photo was taken by Carolyn Eastman through the open sunroof.
We arrived at the trailhead shortly after ten without any further excitement. The weather and bugs cooperated and we had a comfortable ascent up the nearly 1500 feet of elevation to the summit. The scenic view was seen on the way up at a couple of outlooks.
The summit view, suggests why only those looking to complete the Saranac six hike here. There were no crowds on Scarface.
Refreshments were at the Toboggan in Eagle Bay, followed by shopping at Mountainman in Old Forge before heading home.
