Ok, we want this to count so walking we will go (or wait until August if that's the groups consensus). And no surveyors tape. I can't believe you actually remember that thread. As always on this list, a diverse and thought-provoking list of responses. Ciao, Pat

As we all know, Sawyer River Road is closed to vehicular traffic and won't be open until August. I am planning on climbing Vose Spur in a week or so. My question is this, is it legal to ride a bicycle to the trailhead on Sawyer River Road or do we have to walk those extra miles in order for the...

Nancy and I have a free day and are thinking about hiking tomorrow. Temps look like they will be 10-20 degrees above normal. And, yes, the wind will be picking up. So probably no ridge walking tomorrow. What I'm really questioning is the snow quality with temps that warm. Will the snow stay...

Last year we made it down maybe .5 before we took a wrong turn and ended up traversing a cinder wash that nearly...

Good morning, I have been trying to find a comprehensive guide to the Adirondack 46 similar to the wonderful book written by Smith and Dickerman. Anyone know of a comparable guide? Thanks, Pat
