If you're just hiking w/o a summit, you could head in from the south side and take a peak at Wallface. It's super impressive! Even just a day hike into Avalanche Pass is so spectacular in the snow! Have fun :) Dory

Amy and I are headed up for a ski/hike weekend. We'll ski Gore Saturday and hike Marcy/Gray Sunday. Dory

I met Pete Hickey; had my first winter ADK summit; did trailwork for the first time; and spent some great times with friends. I did 6 ADK summits in all this year, some repeats, but that's ok, it's just about being out.

Ok, so the plan was Basin/Haystack/Saddleback, we were getting up at 4AM (it was supposed to snow till 8AM) and we were going to hike quickly to gain elevation and hopefully miss some of the rain. ha ha ha... :p We arrived at Trails End around 10:45PM and it was around midnight until we all...

ooooo tempting tempting...i've done saddleback twice, once in winter, once in summer, never by the cliffs.

Doc, Roger that. We were up the week AFTER that big dump...no snowshoes, but we got some first hand experience at what "blow down" was :eek: We'll bring all the gear, and then make the choices at the trailhead. Thanks again! Dory

Doc, Thanks for the reply and the advice! Creepers??? Do you speak of crampons? I had a question on that...we have them...but I did an early May trip of Algonquin once, and there was just not enough ice to use them, it broke right thru and we'd skid on the rock. Is this more of a...

The husband and I will be headed up north to spend a "romantic"(?) weekend. We're staying at the trails end inn Friday night and have an objective of Basin/Haystack via the garden on Saturday. We're thinking Phelps to Shorey and then up and back to each mountain from the junction. I also was...

Rivet, Yes! I remember you. Congrats to the fellow finishing his 46! Dory

My friends Colby and Mike; my sister Amy and I drove through a rainy Friday to the High Peaks. We arrived around 3pm and had our ritual stop at the Mountaineer and Stewarts for water and supplies. The team was splitting up this trip. Colby and Mike would drop Amy and I at the Ausable Club road...

Doc, Actually, We have other teammates dropping us and parking the car at the Loj (and hiking in) over Algonquin, up the dike, and into Panther. They're planning on picking up Wright; Boundary; Iroquois; Marcy and Skylight. So once we all meet up at Panther, the next day, we're heading around...

hammocks? :eek: Great story Pete...now I'll never sleep! Gotcha on the AMR land, Dick suggested the designated areas south of Indian Head. This weekend is "supposed" to be stellar and we were looking at Gothics/Saddleback/Basin/Haystack over to Panther Gorge. We thought going in along the...

On our next trip we were thinking of hiking in the East Branch of the Ausable (trail 28 in Trails of the High Peaks Region) and making camp somewhere near or around the junction of the trail that leads up to Pyramid and Gothics (trail 35). We've never hiked that trail before, but the contour...

Julie, Congratulations from "down South" here in Pennsylvania! It was so great to meet you at the WOW weekend and we were so happy to hear you had such a perfect finish. :) Amy and Dory

#10 and #11! This is a delayed trip report as all this took place a week ago. This trip is also the most unique and awesome, relaxing, fun trip I have ever taken to the high peaks. Trip participants: Dory, Amy, and Colby. On Thursday the 27th we set out from PA after a gourmet dinner at Sheetz...

Dinner! Pete, Again thanks for the amazing dinner! I had such a great time, we will most definitely be back! Dory
