Hiking south along the North Peaks Trail. The North Peaks Trail from the northern most Howe Peak down to the Northwest Basin Trail is closed (summer of 2000). And so traveling from Russell Pond to the North Peaks is a bush wack!

First outlook on the North Peaks trail, looking North towards Russell Pond and Wassataquoik Lake

Looking west down into Northwest Basin and Lake Cowles.

Looking west across Northwest Plateau, Double Top and beyond.

Our party hiking south towards Hamlin Peak.

Resting on Hamlin Peak with Pamola in the distance.
