Standard loop-- up the George Brook Tr and down the Carriage Rd and Snapper Tr. The Ravine Lodge Road is in good shape, but new work has been done to it. We were warned by the guy with the earth movers to be careful on the sides of the repaired sections as they are still quite soft-- something...

So according to the ADK website there's a "new" hiking trail up Lyon. http://www.adk.org/press/Lyon_Mountain_Trail.aspx Does anyone have a map of it? I'm just curious as to which direction they decided to go up. I think I have two solid ideas, I'm just curious if I'm correct. After...

Has anyone been here? They are just opposite the Hudson River of Kettle Mountain, nestled in between the west and east portions of the Hudson Gorge Primitive Area. Fed by OK Slip Pond to OK Slip Brook. They seem big- real big. It appears to be private land, but maybe there's an easement...

Rise and shine neighbors! Waaaaaaaaay back in June, on one of my first Adirondack overnights, I was lounging around a high-altitude pond looking for wierdness, and boy, did I find some! In the water, climbing, wallowing, and moving around rocks and reeds were little 0.75" towering piles of...

Ok, some may remember the "Overnight Flat Feet?" Thread I had going a few weeks ago. Well, everyone brought up some really great points and valuable insight--thank you--, but tonyCC really struck me over the head with the reality bucket. In short, he advised that he has feet with low arches...

So today my work brought me to the Hudson River Valley, where I enjoyed beautiful views of the Catskills. Now, I have never hiked in the Catskills, but have oft enjoyed them from afar (like from the Mass/NY pike/thruway). One thing I noticed today were distinct horizonta stratified lines...

Ok, I need some flat feet advice. So here's my frustrating story: Last July, I got some hiking boots to replace my aging pair. Same boot, same size. I also went for some green superfeet. So I put them in, and go for stroll up and down my stairs. Bumpity bumpity up, bumpity bumpity down...

Ok folks~ I'll be moving to upstate NY relatively soon if everything goes to plan (maybe Ohio-shudder-for a short time before NY, but that hasn't been decided yet) and obviously, I'll be wanting to romp around those mighty Adirondack mountains. All the North American hiking and camping I've...

So this winter I've decided to start doing some hiking up in the Whites-- day hikes only, and plan on hitting a couple of 4000 footers, Moosilauke, Whiteface, etc. Nothing too dramatic. For Xmas the g/f went all out and got me a pair of Bean Mountain Guide bibs, with the understanding that she...

Time for some snowshoes! My planned winter escapades this year demand a pair, the paycheck allows for it, so its time to get some! I'm poking around the Tubbs over other brands because I can get a nice deal through a friend. My question is about the bindings. The Elevation has somewhat...
