    Oluska Pass

    I wouldn't be able to do a mid week thing Carol, it would have to be a hike in Friday afternoon, Saturday do Seward and Donaldson. Sunday Seymour and out. CRB- I cleaned out my mailbox, it's empty now. I would love some details.

    Hough, Carson, Grace Bushwhack

    Sunny's hip is still an issue the day after, but she takes vitamins and they seem to work out really well.

    Oluska Pass

    Neil-I've looked at that route so many times, it's a long one but the only problem is private property at the base of the brook.

    Hough, Carson, Grace Bushwhack

    Last one for now to get me caught up. I only have time at work to write these. We used the herd path toward East Dix's Great Slide, but when the herd path takes the sharp left toward the slide we continued on up the Bouquet. The river is pretty conjested past the fork, so we pushed on for a...

    5th Annual Adirondack BBQ and Hiker Gathering

    It's definatly Nippletop and Dial on Friday. Via Gravestone Brook down to Hunter Pass. Saturday is wide open for me. But nothing huge, I need to be back to cook. How about a bushwhack up Big Slide then down over the Brothers?? I couldn't get the spit this year so no huge piece of beef. But...

    Oluska Pass

    I want to camp in Oluska Pass this summer before it's over and Bushwhack up Seward over to Donaldson and back to camp. The Bushwhack up Seymour another day. I know it's suppose to be horrible in there, but are there any suggestions other than pack light and small. Should I stay above the...

    Phelps Bushwhack

    The one further North. Not along the ridge Tabletop. The one just north has nice views too, but the same as Phelps. This one actually looks behind Phelps. It's about 0.4-0.5 miles from Phelps. Check it out.

    Finishing up the Saranac Lake Quad

    We had only three peaks left on the Saranac Lake Quad (Boot Bay, Spruce, Steep Bay) These three are along a ridge line above Saranac Lake. We managed to find a trail, slightly blaze off the Forest home Road that lead down to the lake. We followed this and continued along a herd path that feeds...

    Phelps Bushwhack

    Long over due trip report. Thought I had time I would put it up. It's a well worth while trip. We originally planned a bushwhack up Big Slide but ended up finding an excellent brook up Phelps. This brook is located off the Klondike Notch Trail, but is seen as a gully on topo mpas. As it crosses...

    5th Annual Adirondack BBQ and Hiker Gathering

    I have one fridge that gets very full, very fast. But coolers work the best and there's a place to get ice 24 hrs just down the road. Scotch sounds great too!!

    South Dix bushwhack July 29

    I think a 6am start at the bridge is a good time to meet up. Viewseeker-jump on in, you'll have a good time. Bushwhacking is simply hiking without a trail. We'll take care of the rest, navigation that is. We've been on the Spotted ridge before and it's a real treat. But all the fun is in what...

    5th Annual Adirondack BBQ and Hiker Gathering

    Getting closer and closer. Any final questions. I'm putting out a couple orange cones next to the parking drive so eveyone can see it. Especially at night it's hard to see.

    “The Other 54”

    Thank you Christine for that wonderful review, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sabrina-are you still coming up next weekend? Want company on a hike or two? Tim-The wise man speaks. ;) As he says the hike is in the heart of the climber. With bushwhacking there is no trail to guide. Only a direction...
