Big Slide (January)

The trail to Big Slide was hard-packed snow the whole way. Perfect for snowshoes. No ice the whole way.

Algonquin & Iroquois

Today was an absolutely perfect day to hike. It was chilly (14°F at the start), not so cold that your sweat freezes your zippers but cold enough that snow didn’t stick to your clothes. Or…

A Wet TableTop and Phelps

Not exactly ideal conditions to enjoy a hike, it was warm, humid, and wet. When the Van Hoevenberg trail had running water on it, I knew that it would be a sopping mess getting to TableTop.

This hike will always be a favorite of mine, especially on perfect-weather days like this one. It was a great way to spend an afternoon!

Lower Great Range for Project 100

This hike was supporting Neil Luckhurst and his Project 100, which is raising funds for the ADK High Peaks Foundation.

Yesterday perfectly encapsulated shoulder season: A nice 3-4″ of cool snow on the way in; about 6″ of snow (drifting in places) at elevation; icy steep pitches, sometimes hiding under powdered snow; warming sunshine melting low-lying snow by the end of the day creating wide mud swaths.

Colden in the Clouds

We opted for a short climb of Mount Colden, up and back via Lake Arnold. This is our third trip along this route together, our first time was our 46th peak.

This would be my fifth visit to this southwestern Adirondack range, and Kathy’s second.

Bennies Brook Slide to Lower WolfJaw, Upper WolfJaw & Armstrong

We started before sunrise, and made our expected time to the DEC Interior Outpost. From there we crossed Johns Brook onto the now-unmaintained South Side trail, first crossing the start of the Range Trail and a half mile later the base of Bennies Brook.
