Forecast for Sunday August 16th looked great. Decided to explore the Lincoln Slide.
Went up OBP to enjoy the great views from Lafayette and then Lincoln. Then dropped
off the ridge onto the slide. Went down the north fork of the slide, then
cut over to one of the center slides. Went to the top of the center slide and sat
for a while and did absolutely nothing. Then went down the center slide to the choke
where all the slides converge. That's as far down as I wanted to go today. Climbed
back up the north fork and regained the ridge. Then back to Lafayette and down OBP.
Always love walking above the clouds

View from top of north fork
Looking back up north fork
View from top of center fork
Part way down the center fork
At the choke where all the slides join
Climbing back up the north fork
Zoom shot of hikers coming off Lincoln, taken from half way up north fork
I never get tired of this view
