Anyone know the current condition of the highway from the gatehouse up? Was hoping to bareboot up to the top on Sunday.

Last I knew the South Meadows Road wasn't being plowed this winter. Is this still true? I was looking for a family friendly ski route and thought of skiing from the lodge road, to South Meadows, then on to Marcy Dam. Is/has this route been regularly travelled this winter? Thanks for any...

Has someone come up with a name for this trail yet? I hiked down this trail last Saturday and found the trail in good condition. It will be interesting to track the condition in the next few years. I could see where the trail could deteriorate quickly if overused. I did not see the start of the...

So there has been a lot of interest in this trail on this and other sites. Reading through all the posts, I still haven't figured out exactly where the trail deviates from the formerly prescribed route via. Bradley Pond. Also how much time/distance does this trail save and where is the last...

Ok I sign the trail register at the trailhead with my intended itineary (route, number of days, etc.), then i get to Lake Colden and there is another register. Do I also sign this register or is the main trail register sufficient?

There's a set of binoculars at the Allen Trailhead register on Upper Works Road. They were there yesterday. If their yours and you would like them returned, I will be up there again next weekend and will be glad to retrieve them for you. Thats if their still there next Friday.

How far up the trail from Bradley Pond is water available on the way to times square? Wondering if I need to pack extra water from the stream before reaching Bradley Pond. Thanks

Planning a weekend trip to pick up Allen and Redfield. The thought was to hike into twin brook lean-to from Upper Works then drop packs and summit Allen then returning to Twin Brook lean-to to spend night. Next morning head up to Uphill Lean-to again drop packs and summit Redfield. Depending...

Started out from the trailhead at 7:15 with two groups ahead of us heading for Couchsachraga (sp.). Just over three hours later made it to Times Square under intermittently sunny skys and warming temps. The west wind that hit us on the ridge was warmer than the temp. coming up. We dropped our...

Hey Tom, You still planning on attempting Couchie tomorrow? Two of us are debating an attempt at Panther and/or Santanoni tomorrow. Reading last weeks attempts has got us a little concerned about making our goal. Sounds like there is a good trail to Times Square. I don't doubt my abilities but...

I'm planning on trekking out to Santanoni and Panther on March 10 from Upper Works for a long day hike. I plan to ski in as far as possible then don snowshoes for the rest of the trek. DId this same scenario last March and made it to Couchie amidst a heavy snow squall that lasted most of the...

I was looking into purchasing the Hennessey A-Sym hammock and the literature states that it is good for a 6 foot person up to 250 pounds. I'm just 6 foot and weigh 185 pounds and was wondering if my height would still give me enough room for comfort. If you have any experience with this model...

Although this peak is listed as #47 and technically not required for the ADK 46, even though it's higher than four others on the original list, what is the general consensus among 46er's on including this mountain.

Planning on leaving South Meadow early in the a.m. and bagging Phelps and Tabletop (needed for 46er list) then time permitting heading over to Colden, returing via Lake Arnold, Avalanche Camp, Marcy Dam to South Meadow. Estimates put this trip at just under 16 miles. Has anyone attempted this...

Hiked from Petersburgh Pass, north to the snow hole and back on 5/6. There was intermittent light drizzle and a slight breeze an best of all no blackflies. The foliage is just starting to emerge, which may be the reason for the lack of flies. This was my first time on this trail and I was...

The plan was to complete the Santonini range today. Conditions at the trailhead were favorable for our mission. Temps in the 20's and rising with partly sunny skies. The trail was bulletproof from the start up to Bradley Pond. we skied to within 1/2 mile of the start of the herd path and...

Has anyone been into Santanoni or vicinity in the last week that can provide input on the snow conditions in this area? Also can provide input to Claamity Brook Trail or Lake Jiminy Trail. Thanks for any info.

Planning on stationing at Slant Rock LT site in early September to hike Yard and Big Slide one day and Haystack the next. I need to get Tabletop for my 46 list and thought that this would be an interesting bushwack from the Hopkins Trail straight up the creekbed to the middle hump (second...

The stories of this mountain being one of the toughest hikes in the Adirondacks proved to be accurate. The two of us left the trailhead on ski’s at 7:00 under cool temps and intermittent flurries. A quick check in at the trail register revealed that we were the first ones on this trail in a...
