Old Rag

Old Rag

Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah has some serious scrambling up and down crevices, around and over (and under!) massive boulders. In other words, it was really cool.

Pulpit Rock & Pinnacle

We teamed up with another couple to do a fairly interesting 8-mile loop hike near Hamburg, PA – the Pinnacle and Pulpit Rock.

Ricketts Glen On Kodak E100VS

Ricketts Glen On Kodak E100VS

The Falls Trail hike made for a much different feel over the summer compared to this week, with more colors in the leaves and more water over the falls. The Kodak E100VS slide film matched the day perfectly.

Mercy Sunrise

Mercy Sunrise

You will not find a better rental than Mercy Cabin, inside the hamlet of Keene — centrally located to Lake Placid, Wilmington (Whiteface Mountain & skiing), and all the major trailheads for hiking the high peaks.

Dix Range Traverse – Dix, Hough, S. Dix, E. Dix, & Macomb

Dix Range Traverse – Dix, Hough, S. Dix, E. Dix, & Macomb

Wanting to finish my summer off in style, I made one last 800-mile drive to climb more mountains. Wanting to satiate my inner masochist, I chose a day hike of the 5-peak Dix Range.

Dial & Nippletop

Dial & Nippletop

Iterations of this hike have been planned and scrapped since July, with the latest one a proposed Colvin-Blake-Nippletop-Dial hike. The previous day’s over-hiking scrapped the 4-peak plan in favor of a more modest straight up-and-back over these two, allowing if nothing else an extra hour of sleep.

Wright, Algonquin, & Iroquois And Avalanche Lake

Wright, Algonquin, and Iroquois were the three best back-to-back-to-back peaks we’ve enjoyed in the Adirondacks.

Skylight & Gray

Skylight & Gray

We had been dunked in mud, trod underwater, stopped-and-re-started, rushed off a peak, re-routed, drenched in a passing thunderstorm, and hiked over 18 miles & 5,000+ vertical feet. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Rocky Peak Ridge (and Giant Mountain)

Rocky Peak Ridge (and Giant Mountain)

The only car in the lot, we signed into the trail at 7:44 AM. Before noon we were enjoying lunch on our 15th high peak, on Rocky Peak Ridge.
