Ok folks~
I'll be moving to upstate NY relatively soon if everything goes to plan (maybe Ohio-shudder-for a short time before NY, but that hasn't been decided yet) and obviously, I'll be wanting to romp around those mighty Adirondack mountains. All the North American hiking and camping I've done has been in NH and ME, primarily in the WMNF.
Reading through this site I notice a lot of comments about Inpsector Rangers at trailheads, fees, permits, private land (seems to be a big one), snowshoe requirements, and so on and so forth. I like to do things the right way first. So the big question of the day is: How does the Adirondack Park work? How similar or different is it from the Whites, and what should I know so I'm not ruining my day, or anyone else's day? What guide (book-type), if one exists, would you recommend?
I'm sort of really stuck during the next 8 weeks or so and I can't spend the time or money to hit up a bookstore and get some quality Adirondack guides (if they even exist a la WM Guide). I searched around online and didn't really find what I was looking for. So maybe someone here can help. Feel free to post here, PM me, or post a link that you feel will suffice.
Thank you in advance...
