"Redlining" in the Adirondacks?

[Explorer Editor]

In White Mountains, people are "redlining" all the trails in the AMC guide--i.e., walking every mile of every trail. It takes years to do. I am wondering if anybody is undertaking a similar quest in the Adirondacks, perhaps hiking all the trails in the High Peaks Wilderness or even the entire Park?

A long term goal of mine is to redline the ADK High Peak's map, as well as eventually the entire Adirondacks, but it's not a high priority.

I've been working on it for a while. West Central section is almost complete. High Peaks Sections and Central sections are both about 1/2 way there. It's been interesting to find so many gems in my neck of the woods (West Central) that one would not find unless they have been on some of these little traveled trails. These hikes will all be up on our site for your video viewing pleasure within the next few months as we are updating it after 10 years (finally!)

Here are my redline maps- the resolution isn't the best, but you get the idea.

This is after 6 years worth of hiking in the Adirondacks.

Lots of ground covered, lots of ground still to be covered:
