Haystack #46 Friday 10/21 Looks like all systems are go for #46 tomorrow on Haystack. Planning to leave the Garden at 6:00 am or so under headlamp (curse these short days!). Stabilicers and cold weather gear as well. But right now it looks like a stellar day is shaping up. Anyone interested...

Subtitle: Maybe October, but it felt like "Hot Time, Summer in the Sewards" Another Subtitle: The trip that almost wasn't See the pictures -HERE- Wow, I really had to shoehorn this trip in. But the weather forecast won me over and 5 am tuesday I was driving from CT to my company's Albany...

OK, you guys did such a nice job giving advice for my recent Saddleback/Basin loop that I think I will go to the well again. In order to finish my 46 this year, I am shooting for the Sewards early this week (check out that weather forecast :) ) and then Haystack to finish next week (friday...

A spectacular day in the High Peaks! Pictures HERE After much debate about routes I wisely took the advice given me and settled on the "counter-clockwise" route from JBL. Good advice! Drove up from CT thurs night and stayed at the Hostel. Stayed up to listen to the end of the Red Sox game...

Hey guys...getting close to 46 (38 now) but I do have the Sewards coming up. With the emergence of the Caulkins Brook herdpath as the preferred route, what is everyone's opinion as to how "best" to do the Sewards and Seymour in a single trip. Seems to be a lot of plusses/minuses to any route...

I am having a banner year weather-wise. I have been up to the high peaks on probably the 3 single best weather days of the year, and this one was just about perfect. Low humidity, cool temps, great views.-Pictures Here- Drove up from Albany weds eve after a delightful dinner with an old...

Quick question, especially aimed at those "ultra-light" backpacking enthusiasts...I have always carried a knife of some sort when camping, and I have always assumed that everyone else does, too. Is there anyone who doesn't due to weight or other consideration? Just curious. Thanks! ADK Rick

Does anyone know of a source of hiker/camper usage statistics for the High Peaks? I am particularily interested if there is a published figure on how many overnight campers there are per year in the ADK High Peaks Eastern Regions. Thanks! ADK Rick

Well, my uncle (46r #1387) always said that the only acceptable way to do the Range was from Rooster Comb to Haystack with a full pack all the way. And I'm not talking about one of our internal frame suspension waist belt chest belt hydration system jobs, either, but a real Adirondack Pack...

A picture perfect day in the High Peaks. Pictures Here Couldnt have picked a better day for my first trip to the High Peaks in a couple of years. Dropped 30+ pounds since January and was eager to test drive the new wheels :) . Drove up from CT wednesday evening and checked into the Hostel...
