 The Pool
This conduit is, amazingly, the main source of water that keeps the Pool, the Loch, and the Harlem Meer filled and the cascades in between running.
The most dramatic cascade, recalling mountain hikes or trips to northern New York State's Adirondack forests, is by the bridge at the northeast corner of the Pool.
At the cascade's base begins the stream called the Loch; it flows under Glenspan Arch and into the wooded Ravine.

 Nature Photography: The Summit of Cascade Mountain, Adirondack Park, New York
Cascade is considered by many to be the easiest climb of the Adirondack High Peaks; Its trailhead starts at the shoulder of the highway, and at just over two miles to the summit, it's a relatively easy climb.
Its huge bald summit and impressive views are among the best in the Adirondacks, especially for the level of effort.
The Cascade trail also offers access to the much less visited Porter Mountain via a side trail which, although not as spectacular as Cascade, should not be missed.

 SummitPost - Cascade Mountain -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering

This is also a good peak to introduce people to winter hiking as the trail is good, not steep, short and the summit is well exposed but easy to find shelter on.
It is now named for the falls that cascade down its side between Upper and Lower Cascade Lake.

Cascade Mountain Gin is 47.5abv / 95proof and made since 1996 at Bend Distillery in Bend, OR, it's received several awards including a silver medal at the 2006 World Beverage Competition.
Made from hand picked wild mountain juniper berries from the Central Oregon high desert plateau and a mix of other local botanicals, and distilled in a copper alembic or pot still.
Most gins are colorless with very few exceptions like Seagram's and Magellan, Cascade Mountain is not heavily filtered so it has a pleasing, very light gold color.

 A Climber's Inspiration: Stimson Bullitt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Bullitt is a true renaissance man. As the chief executive of KING television in Seattle, Bullitt made history in the late ‘60s by going on the record as opposing the war in Vietnam well before that was fashionable.
We first met four or five years ago while he was honing his skills in an indoor climbing gym, then we frequently crossed paths while climbing in the Cascades and at local crags.
But, his feelings are mixed, mainly due to his enjoyment of the mountains and strenuous use of the body, as well as the inherent challenges and self-testing that soloing brings.

 Cascade Mountain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
There's a club in New York State called the Forty-Sixers.
The 46 number is a course of much discussion; when first surveyed some of the peaks were thought to be over 4,000 feet when in reality they are not, and for some peaks, it's vice-versa (they were thought to be sub-4,000 feet when according to recent surveys, they aren't- they're over 4,000 feet).
Usually, Cascade and Porter (it's the forested mountain to the near left) are done in the same day, but we decided to enjoy the view and save Porter for another day.

With a population of less than 450,000, it is difficult to believe that this area could be part of one of the most populated states in the nation, California.
