On Monday, October 18, 2010, I hike a 12.6 mile loop along the southern Tongue Mountain Range, Northwest Bay Trail, and back up Five Mile Pt. Trail.

The following audio log corresponds to this entry.

French Point Mtn. is the best view on the Tongue Mountain Range, with panoramic views of then narrows of Lake George.

Approaching Montcalm Point, the range narrows, with Northwest Bay converging on the lake. Along the way, the trail traverses dense clusters of dwarf oak trees. Navigation becomes a little tricky between the peaks, requiring backtracking at times.

The Northwest Bay Trail is a simple and pleasant hike with little change in elevation.
