Almost immediately afterward, we climbed Sharp Top Mountain - a first for us in many visits to Peaks of Otter. Sharp Top is one of the three "Peaks" in the area and the steepest, it's rocky summit visible from the Lodge. The boulder-strewn trail climbs up stone stairs and switchbacks.
At the top, we were rewarded with magnificent views of the area, Abbott Lake and the Lodge sprawled out beneath us, from several stone patios and platforms. "Goats upon the battlements!"
A stone house built many years ago is still used by hikers, it seems. This is the place we want to stay next time! I think I could be happy here for a long time.
A good day of running and hiking. And a beautiful lake, a beautiful wife. Time to relax.
