Quotes from the book: "Esther Mountain stands at the end of a three-mile spur that extends northeast from Whiteface. Esther is relatively unknown and rarely explored; thousands of people drive, hike, or ski to the top of Whiteface and view Esther without knowing its identity or legacy." - page 9 "Her slash-covered sides, dead down timber and very thick balsam present numerous pitfalls to the hiker who seeks her summit." - page 52 "Esther Mountain has been dug, cut, blasted, burned, stripped, paved, and ignored. It has lost its pristine wilderness character but it still offers unique opportunities for tourists, scientists, and hikers." -page 73 |
