Whiteside Mountain


We've been here before.

The trail...


...will show you epic mountain vistas...



...and small scenes of quiet beauty.



The trail...


...will put you between a rock and a hard place...


...and give you a soft bed to lie on.


The trail...


...will introduce you to the slowest of hikers...




...and the fastest animal in the world, the peregrine falcon. (Okay, not in the picture, but glimpsed from here at Fool's Rock.)


The summit, of course...


...is the summit...




...but also a garden of moss and lichen...




...and of wildflowers.












Hit the trail.

Thanks for the photos. Some time I hope to get into that country.

The southern Appalachians are lovely; quite a bit wetter than your country, but I think you'll find certain aspects of the mountains familiar. I hope you make the trip(s). Good to hear from you!
