    Beautiful in winter. These are my only New York peaks to date and I did them in Late May 2009. I guess I need to get back there to the Adirondacks! Maybe this summer. We'll see. Great pics by the way.

    Your "10 Essentials?"

    Cascade & Porter Mountains (Plan C) - 12/31/12

    These are the first 2 NY summits I have completed. It was a fun hike in late May. I loved the views and bald ledges of Cascade and the trail over to Porter and it's teasing views along the top were nice. I will have to get back into New York for some more summits.
