Sunday adventure. Tramp outing Sunday to Owl’s Head Mountain and fire tower. Short days, it was up early and to the meeting place by 9. Beautiful sunny day, being a passenger, I got to take in sights you can’t when driving. The scenery was awesome, lakes just starting to skim over with ice. Some more than others, none on Blue Mountain Lake which was strange. That lake is cold even in July! There was snow on the trail but not enough to warrant snow shoes for most of us.
Off we went for the 3.1 miles to the tower. A little icey and vertical near the top, we were rewarded with awesome views from the tower.
Heading back to the cars the girls got a headstart so I had to kick it onto Montana gear to catch them! It’s so much easier and faster going downhill. Quick stop at Long Lake for a few pictures, beach closed. A stop at Kratzy’s for a cold beverage to end the day.
