Indian Pass brook runs via a much colder valley, I would think crossing will not be a problem as all ice bridges are very solid (quite thick) even though there are gaps where one can see the water running. Careful foot placing and wearing snowshoes to even the weight should make it safe. In any...

You are very welcome, yes many bridges are gone again, so is the newer one over Indian Pass Brook just north of Lake Henderson. On Friday near Feldspar Brook crossing a beaver has a day or two earlier cut a tree! The for sure took the flood in stride, even though many have been flushed in the...

Alex in a peak bagging mood, Tony for the ride and myself for... well not sure exactly... headed to Cascade and Porter. Young Microspikes or full crampons were a necessity from the get-go unless one is a figure skater or a gymnast, even though it’s not that bad. A few inches of snow at the...

Hardly any snow in the woods at the Loj elevation, micro spikes a must the first three miles, conditions the last 1.5-mile up to Lake Arnold offered perfect snowshoes conditions, snow then about 3 feet deep, next 1.6 mile down to Feldspar Lean-to a few inches over a crust annoying but easy going...

Good timing, as it rained a lot yesterday and was way above freezing for more than 24 hours! What's next?

And even though MUCH younger I could not keep up with you on the MacIntyres Range this past Sunday as you reached in a gale force wind your W46>70 on Iroquois!

Alan presentation is a must, which will make you run to the Catskills the very next day his guidebook in hand!

You are very welcome!

SOUTH DIX (Carson) It was almost easy along a forever meandering herd path but not quite a walk in the woods. We got going shortly after 8:30AM, the temperature was a cool 6F. It did not warm up much during the day but since it was sunny and we never felt any kind of breeze the cold was not an...

You sound just like a new 46R report I received today “We were drenched from head to toe, but this was one of the most enjoyable hikes I can remember” talking about one of his past summer climb!

ADKHP is back: You got your game runnning again, Merry Christmas to you!:cool:

Climbing Marcy you main issue could be Marcy Dam temporary crossing which can be challenging in high water. A new bridge, across Marcy Brook, will likely be built next spring somewhere below the dam; therefore a December 21st, 2012 Marcy W is a realistic back-up plan...

....was told by an elf there are 12 feet of new snow in the Sewards and the gate is closed.... hafe fun...

Adam, Which peaks do you "need" to reach to complete your winter quest?

The CCC built Marcy Dam in the 1930s and consolidated/repaired Duck Hole, where are they now?;)

One needs a hiking license and an affliction for maze games to complete a loop around the mostly man made Putnam Pond. In the 1930s the CCC crew worked on the dam and build some trails, completion of the work and the building of the large campground was completed in the 1960s. Several decades...

November offering us an extra Indian summer ideal for hiking at lower elevation we went for a 14 mile plus loop into the Pharaoh Lake wilderness starting from Crane Pond parking area. At this time of year but for the direct trail to Pharaoh Summit traffic is light and we found ourselves...

A friend climbed Allen yesterday to complete his 49th round, water crossings were very easy but microspikes were necessary to scale Allen Brook.

Only few areas got hammered by Irene induce high winds (for instance the Hurricane Trail from the East was just about obliterated over a mid-level .5-mile section) but several stretch of trails were devoured by slides. We are lucky DEC was quick and efficient in organizing a very large trail...
