Let me preface by saying this loop really did a number on us. Having done the feather of the Eagle slide on Giant the day before, we thought we were warmed up and could knock out these 7..potentially 8 peaks in one day. We initially planned to include Haystack in this loop, but by the time we...

Thank you! Excellent to know

How is the bushwhacking in this area? Heading east off of either of these peaks? Around the falls, is it difficult?

Has anyone made a trip from Dix up to Nippletop? Or alternately, from Elk Lake up to Nippletop? How is the travel there? Any herd paths to look out for?

I'm a young, confused college student (in DC) who really wants to be told that trail conditions are currently very poor in the Adirondacks. I'm afraid that doesn't seem to be the case. I had plans to go on Monday, but saw some disheartening trail reports (many bare spots, flowing water, no...

I think you can add rain to that list, too. Snow has so many natural predators :mad: Well, I have my spring break from school March 20-30 and I was hoping there would still be enough snow for snowshoes and winter gear, otherwise I'd make some different plans. Most of my hikes would probably...

Any estimates? How quickly will the good conditions deteriorate? Snowshoes until March 30th..beyond?

You took some lovely pictures. Your trip report was the inspiration for my hike today to Algonquin and Wright. Unfortunately the weather was not picture-perfect and so I did not linger for too long at either summit, rather I scurried down while I could still see the cairns! My first time...

ok...I've decided to go to Algonquin, Wright, and Iroquois. I'll be at the ADK Loj TH at 8:00 AM barring any major car problems on Adirondack Rd!

ah! I just did RPR and Giant on Monday for the second time. :confused: I might still be interested although I think I'd like to try Algonquin/Wright/Iroquois or another 8-10 mile roundtrip hike...I must decide. It was a great time hiking with you last time, and I have new and better boots...

Hi, is anyone going to be out in the Adirondacks tomorrow? I'll go just about anywhere and wake up anytime (not Cascade, I've been so many times). I'd like to be back by 4 pm, and at the latest 5pm. I have an 8 hour drive to complete after the hike. My hiking pace is generally between 2 and...

Planning a trip for Monday. Any relevant info is GREATLY appreciated.

haha, well, I am glad I was able to contribute SOMETHING with my presence on that fated attempt of mine to hike cliff :o I would love to try again some time, to keep up with you! I have been running miles and miles on these lowly little mountains around washington, DC to get in good shape...

yes. this is definitely the credited response. i have been recovering for a week from a terrible blister on the back of my heel because of a strap on my snowshoe. My snowshoes look like this though http://www.gearreview.com/images/snowshoes/atlas/summit1233.jpg and I was wearing a very...

It..um..gives me stomach issues. let's leave it at that
