My wife and I have 3 days to spend in the ADK’s during the week of Aug 8th and I was looking for some suggestions. We haven’t decided exactly how we’ll do things but have the luxury of choosing from one extreme to the other. Ie. We can stay in a hotel and do day hikes or we can go bushwhacking with our backpacks.
If we camp in the backcountry, I’d just as soon avoid the more crowded areas.
One possibility that interests me would be to target the trailed Hundred Highest south of the High peaks area. Either car camping or back country camping. Is it possible to set up a base camp and do several trailed HH from there?
Another would be to do some sort of a thru-hike, not necessarily involving any summits, but with the possibility of doing so. Anywhere in the park would be fine provided that we wouldn’t constantly be in the trees with no views. We don’t mind paying for the shuttle/taxi service so we don’t have to come back to our starting point.
Any advice would be appreciated.
