Text Appearing Before Image:
ne, v runalong near the rocky mounds of Mount Clay, and reach the Gulf Tank. Itis a mile from Jacobs Ladder to the summit, and the rise is only eight hun-dred feet, over a long slope covered with arctic desolation, frost-shatteredrocks, reindeer moss, and the flowers of Greenland. The views, ever broad-ening and changing, are indescribable in their vastness, and cover half ofNew England. On this great peak, 6,293 feet above the sea, are several buildings, chiefof which are the spacious Summit House, the newspaper-office of Amongthe Clouds, the old Tip-Top House, the railway engine-house, the observa-tory for many years used by the observers of the United-.States SignalService, and the Glen-House stables. Besides the railway and the Glen-House carriage-road, there are fourfoot-paths to the summit,— from the Crawford House, up Tuckermans Ra-vine, over the Northern Peaks, and from the Fabyan side. None of theseshould be undertaken by amateur mountaineers, as they may be easily lost. 54
Text Appearing After Image:
55 Plenty of warm wraps should be taken up, even in August. Many peoplecome up on the afternoon train and spend the night at the hotel; rising atfour in the morning to sec the magnificent sunrise. The best time for theascent is after a rainy season, when the wind is north-west. The view from Mount Washington is of amazing extent and variety, andis minutely described in ten close-set pages of Ticknors White-MountainGuide-Book, with a detailed panorama. An hours study with these helpsreduces the chaotic and lawless scene to comprehensibility and geographicalorder. The outer points visible include Mount Megantic and several otherCanadian border-peaks; the Rangeley Lakes; the Ebeme Mountains, 125miles away in the Maine wilderness; (possibly) Mount Desert; SebagoLake, and the shipping on the ocean, off Portland; Mount Agamenticus,down by York Beach; Lake Winnipesaukee; Monadnock and the south-ern Kearsarge; Greylock and the Iloosac Range, down in Massachusetts;Ascutney, the Killington Peak
