I have decided to stay away from the High Peaks for a while during mud season and am planning to do a route around the Putnam pond area.
I have been reading up the routes in Barbara Mcmartins guide book for the Eastern adirondacks which goes into some terrific detail.
From the state campground we will take the trail south of Putnam pond then North and west up Treadway Mt.
Now, rather than return on the trail to Mud pond and Clear Pond I would like to know what the bushwacking is like to head over Big clear pond mt. and then over to Peaked hill which apparently is completely open on top. down to Rock pond which is supposed to be very beautiful with a neat Graphite mine nearby. Then return by the bear pond trail.
I have a lot of experience with bushwacking and map and compass work so don't mind a bit of a challenge in that department
Has anybody done this route or parts of it?
Thanks!
