The road is cleared only to the Nyco mine entrance, but note that pas Fay Mt, more exactly soon after the small pond Seventy Road is private and the owner (s) is not fond of hikers! Parking in the winter may be dificult depending on the size of the snowbanks. The Jay Mountain Road which is the...

If you are planning to hike from the Loj be aware that the last few weekends Fridays and Saturdays the parking lot was full and closed by 8:30AM at the latest. It may happen even earlier from now till the end of October and on more weekdays. As about the Garden, it's mostly a matter of luck even...

This past Thursday, Sept. 19, 2013, I accompany two friends as they completed this new list. If one goes by the website of the organizers http://saranaclake6er.com/ it’s a success participation wise as of September 7, 2013 already 340 climbers had become members! Not sure it’s creating that...

Kevin, I have been to the Amphetheater and found the easiest route to the base is to start from the Range Trail at the about 4250' elevation, the woods are quite open just looks horrible near the trail. One has to loose a bit of elevation while walking along the base of the cliffs you likely...

Spectacular, again thanks for sharing and having the fortitude to take awesome pictures all the while...

And there are two excellent articles about the Jay Range in the latest issue of ADK's Adirondac Magazine... As well as a just as interesting one by Alan Via and Liz Cruz about Rochester Hollow/ A Destination for All Seasons. The 46ers fall meeting in Keene Valley features a do not miss...

Congratulations and thank you for taking time to post great and informative photos and texts!

Legal access to the North River Range and C.C., via the Boreas Ponds side will likely come within 3 or 4 years. What we still don't know is how long a walk it's going to be from the Blue Ridge Road.

Sounds like the best time was taken in the vicinity of the lake and the lodge, as it appears the last few hundred feet climbing WPM are not quite yet all open birch forest... is your lunch climbing the 100 as well? :D

“The Friendly Mountains are old. They seem wise, like aged folk wrapped in shawls of deep green, who having experienced aeons of geologic past now contemplate their life through mists of time. (...) They have lived through so many millenniums that they can afford to be tolerant of the little...

Sorry to hear, hope you get well soon, thanks for sharing and reminding us it can happen at any step of the way!

Is using a map while hiking cheating? To be in full connection with nature I believe one should bushwhacked completely naked...:D On a more serious note during the days before GPSs climbers used drainages as handles with the disastrous results to the mountains we are all aware of nowadays...

Can you imagine John E. Winkler went up and down the same route partly in the dark!

Following a decade of planning and smart observations from every possible angle Inge and I felt ready to climb Haystack via its prominent and ever so gradual spine. Never mind that John E. Winkler had written in his book A Bushwhacker View of the Adirondacks “In bushwhacking the 46 highest...

This past Sunday found us at first more or less enjoying a rather wet trail to Algonquin tree line, from then on it was breathtaking scenery walking either on bare rocks or the just completed new bog bridges on either sides of Boundary’s two bumps. We discovered new vistas as for the first time...

During our Sunday June 30 visit to Algonquin and Iroquois we noticed it was not too bad a lower elevation but from the MacIntyre Falls to Algonquin summit it was busy on the trails, specially on every slightly shady and wet spots. Of course the Wright Peak intersection was grand central: a very...

Just what we need, FLOOD WATCH: http://adirondackdailyenterprise.com/page/content.detail/id/537655.html

Since the trees are in their growing season most of the trails are not as wet as one would expect, plus you may have to wait for a very long time for the trails to dry out, we are talking about the Adirondacks here!

Don't worry they are EVERYWHERE, the no-see-ums are even more prevalent than the blackflies right now!

We were so proud of ourselves having tackled all of the trail work on May 21, 2013. A few days later a few feet of wet snow blanketed the hills for hours on some slopes. Lucky for us... or not, Trail # 105 saw a large numbers of the trees lining it going for a closer look at the terrain they...
