A view of Vose Spur from the Lowell slides

Vose Spur Slide locality, Lincoln, Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA

Looking at Vose spur from the slides on Lowell. This mountain has no trail to the summit and looks to be a challenging bushwhack. The talus is visible in the left lower of the frame. Need to ascend this one for the solitary view. 8/10/13

Looking Up The Talus

Mount Lowell Slide locality, Lincoln, Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA

Looking up the first talus slide from the base. You can see the ledge where the rock used to call home. Very steep and unstable, much care is needed to travel this. 8/10/13
