End of the day run back to the car.

Sweet!

It looks like you stayed on the west side, good strategy. (coming from the MRV) Or did you head over to Oakes too?

Oakes is west side too. We started at the Cog and went up the Ammo Trail in sneakers. Traction was good until just before the Lake of the Clouds, then we switched to proper climbing gear. We took a few runs and had lunch in Oakes, then back down Monroe Brook and the bottom of the Ammo back to the car.

More pics to come in my weekly email tomorrow ... which is now available on the Sugarbush website, under Sugarbush Stoke Exchange. Look for my newest stoke market update soon!

Did you see anyone else out there? Oakes is a great destination, definitely accessed from the west side, but it is on the "other" side of the Presidential ridge facing south, due east of the summit of Mt. Monroe. You must have passed Lakes of the Clouds to get there. Perfect Day.

I'll be up there on whatever good day there is next week. Dodge's and the Duchess are calling me this year.
