Dipper Brook Falls
Did a hike in the Adirondack high peaks today. Didn't climb any peaks though. Instead, went in search of more waterfalls. Started from the Giant trailhead on Route 73, but didn't take the trail. Instead, I followed Dipper Brook upstream. The water was low and you could just rock hop. After a while, I got tired of rock hopping and headed into the woods. Stayed mostly on the left side of the brook and quite a bit above it. I continued upstream for about half mile. There were two tall falls which were difficult to photograph. I was too far up above the brook and the walls of the ravine were nearly vertical. There was no apparent easy way down on this side, so I continued on up above the main falls. Stopped at a nice little pool for a quick dip. The water was very cold, but refreshing on this hot day. Continued on to Dipper pond and then headed back to the trail. Did a loop over the "Nubble" and then headed back to the car. Saw a couple of beavers swimming around in the Giant Washbowl.

It was very hot in the north country on Sat. Hit 88 in Blue Mtn Lake at the museum. Took Willie to dog days there and he spent a lot of time in the pond. Glad Howie had water also. We just need rain for the guys to enjoy a drink when hiking.
Did Howie take the picture of you in the water? How many miles?
About 4 miles
