Thanks all for the great input. When I get my maps, I'll check out the routes outlined above and let you know what I settle on.
As for deer season in the Adirondaks, am I being stupid planning a trip this time of year? I grew up in Western Pennsylyania -- which has one if not the greatest...
I'm not really looking to lay out a route to knock off peaks (mostly due to time of year and it being my first time in that neck of the woods). I'd like to stick to established trails and cover some ground -- I'd like to do at least 10-12 miles a day. I've been on trails in the White Mountains...
I'm hoping to do a four day backpacking trip in the Adirondacks during the first week of November. I've ordered the ADK Mountain Club's Adirondack Sampler II with recommended trips -- but I understand that the text has mostly one and two night trips.
Does anyone have any recommended four...
