The summit of Esther is somewhat in the trees. Other reports suggested there were no views at all but we found this nice view up towards Whiteface. Not every summit can be a clear 360 degree panorama so having small vignettes for views was actually rather nice. You can see the toll road that carrys tourists up to the summit. Where the road ends there is a restaurant and a 300ft elevator to take you to the summit allowing the tourists to summit the peak without breaking a sweat. I, on the other hand, broke a sweat several times(well, for most of the day actually). I took a quick dip in the stream at the trailhead to wash the days salt and grime off me (I had a dinner in Alexandria to get too... ). Its amazing how cold a stream can be when the air temperature is in the 30's. Isn't thermodynamics wonderful.
