A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

Was going through the "archives" lookin' for some old "stuff" and came across a few cool shots that I subsequently "stitched" together to create this image...


...pretty much summarizes many of the earlier posts and mapping. Shot "these" from 'Casparis Point' one winter day - forgot I had 'em. Left to right looking south to north. The (approximated) 'MTB Trail' is the "home stretch" of the earlier referenced MTB 'Big Loop' or "second half" of the alternate MTB 'Cow Rock Loop'. The 'Loyalhanna Limestone' is as identified on the 'Useful Map'. For scale, the 'Yough Gorge Crag' (Loyalhanna Limestone) probably ranges from forty to eighty feet in height. The 'Lower MTB Trails', all ridden, are just part of the maze of trails to be found. Forgot about those - we cleared a "spur trail" to link the 'Yough River Trail' long ago -  is located near where the lowest trail visually terminates in the lower left of the photo - surely overgrown these days...

... pretty cool....

Revised 05/12: My mistake - had to revise the photo and text - the 'MTB Trail' descends the ridge to the north as now shown - doesn't continue out across as had been annotated. Also - the lower trails ascend the spur to the right that climbs up and below the 'Yough Gorge Crag' as seen in the photo, and link the 'MTB Trail' at the old timber operation staging area.
