Starting along the Heart Lake Loop.

Ample signs pointed the way.

Heart Lake.

Descending a few hundred feet along the Nye and Street Mountain route.

Indian Pass Brook, which I crossed.

View back toward Indian Pass Brook.

The trail stays above a creek for a bit.

Then drops down and parallels it, crossing once.

A nice forested hike next to the creek.

Then the trail ascends steeply up a wide and rocky gully.

It's less lush here than elsewhere, but gets the work done quickly.

Continuing to ascend up the slope.

The trail then gets high enough to introduce more mosses and eroded washed-out trail.

View back down at the steepness.

A view along the way up.

The trail felt particularly eroded around here, large roots and rocks really jutting out.

Junction of the Nye Mountain and Street Mountain Trails. I headed right fist to Nye Mountain.

An easy walk over to Nye Mountain.


A little overlook toward Street Mountain on the way to Nye Mountain.

Summit of Nye Mountain.

Now onto Street Mountain.

The trail up to Street Mountain felt incredibly green with mosses blanketing the ground.

A really enjoyable hike without being too steep.




Summit of Street Mountain.

A view toward Algonquin from just past the summit of Street Mountain.

I backtracked to nearly the trailhead and picked up the Mount Jo Short Trail.

It's a bit steep and rocky, but quite popolar.

A pretty trickling rock face on the way up.

Junction of the Short Trail and Long Trail.

Ladders to gain the summit of Mount Jo.
