Hopkins and Phelps Trails from Garden are in excellent conditions as well (thanks to ADK & DEC Trail crew), a bit of significant erosion here and there along Johns Brook but nothing we can't deal with. Very few climbers from Garden but we met a couple who had been to Haystack, Basin and...

New slide on Basin's Shoreys-Short-Cut side Saddleback and Gothics Upper and Lower Woljaws, both have new slides on several sides, Lower 2 and Upper 3! Upper Woljaw AMR side. Many of the new slides are very long, the one LWJ goes all the way into Johns Brook, the new one on Wright goes...

DEC website has been updated: Adirondack Trail Information AREA OPENINGS (9/8): The EASTERN ZONE of the HIGH PEAKS WILDERNESS and GIANT MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS are once again OPEN. Due to the amount of damage to certain trails, and the continued closure of a section of Route 73 and other roads...

"Fording Johns Brook" These guys know the brook very well. That crossing is straight through the woods in front of JBL porch and it is as well a very good crossing in winter!

Thank you so much for posting those awesome pictures, being one of the two trail steward of the (former?) Orebed Trail and involved in the Orebed Ladders project I was particularly interested in getting the fascinating picture of the new and improved Saddleback/Gothics valley. Christine PS...

The 1.7-mile to Pitchoff's expansive open ledges was well worth the effort today. All day Rangers were keeping watch at every closed trailhead. In any case my friend from NYC would have found Cascade itself too much of a good thing. Marcy was totally invisible but Colden and Algonquin were...

Yes, and the Rangers already are at all the trailheads, even Cascade!

Good news, just talked to a friend who climbed Cascade this morning, he reported only one major blockage and a few small debris here and there but nothing unusual. He added that trail was in good shape and seemed not to have suffered from Irene. Another 20 or so parties were on the mountain at...

Appears so far to be a totally different kind of impact. Floyd took trees down and created new slides, this time it is mostly water damage, one can cut/clear trees to re-open a path but cannot reroute a brook or fill a trail that has become a gully. It's the smaller drainages that did the most...

Well hikers in general and the 46R in particular are often blamed for the conditions of trails and herdpaths. Today considering the extensive damage by Irene as She was completing her 46 in less than 11 hours...:D

Maybe it's time to stop the FORTY-SIXING?

Do not forget to bring a boat...

Now after more than 7 inches of rain and still counting, the Boquet is overflowing in a big way. On the above pictures it has already gone over two successive 5-foot tall embankment, and is at least 150 feet wide instead of its regular 40'! So far our house is still 700 linear feet from the...

At 2:45PM, winds are still calm but we are over 6 inches of rain!

Amazing to think the pretty, steep and rather large drainage we followed at first which was just about dry yesterday is likely and less than 24 hours later a raging torrent! Not to mention Hour Pond which from the summit area seemed totally dry then and there... Some have suggested that...

At the foot of Bald Peak/Rocky Peak Ridge (Elizabethtown), the rain started at 4:27AM, by 10AM we had had 1, 25’’ then the flow significantly intensified and now at 11:45AM we are almost at 4 INCHES! So far no wind.

Would probably be a better idea to go directly from Marcy to Iroquois via Moss Pond and then directly from Marshall to Gray via Livingston Pond.:D

Sounds like a close relative of the North River Range. Great trip report, thanks.
