    Snowshoes with ski boots

    Thanks everybody. I guess I am leaning towards wearing hiking boots with the ski boots in the backpack with chemical warming elements in them to keep them warm.

    Snowshoes with ski boots

    Yes, we will probably walk up the ski slopes and somewhere near. But we may take a shortcut if there is enough snow off the ski slopes. Planning to walk up the South side and ski the North side, this way we have no choice but to repeat in order to get back to the car :)

    Snowshoes with ski boots

    We are planning to go to Mont Tremblant (ski resort up in Quebec), snowshoe up and ski down, then repeat and go home. We can't decide whether we need to wear hiking boots on the way up or ski boots. The downside of wearing hiking boots is that in an hour to hour and a half that it takes us to...

    purchasing a fishing license

    I called them up and they don't sell fishing licenses. We won't be passing through Ray Brook either :( We'll try Walmart - sporting department of the one in Ogdensburg (315-394-8561) sells them. Yan

    purchasing a fishing license

    We will be going to the Rollins Pond campground from Ontario (through Ogdensburg - Canton - Tupper Lake). Where can we purchase a NY State fishing license along the way? Thanks, Yan

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    So I called them this morning and they say that 6 people limit per site is for the total number of people including toddlers, so we'll have to reserve 2 sites. They also limit it to 2 tents per site. The 2 car limit means that any extra car has to be parked off the site and you have to pay extra...

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    They say there is a maximum of 6 per site - do they really enforce that? We'll probably be two families with 4 adults and 3 kids (one being under 2 years old). Can we get away with getting just one site?

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    Are you sure that reservations are not site specific? I went on ReserveAmerica.com and it seems like you can reserve a specific site.

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    We are looking for a quiet campground, waterfront site, lake where you can canoe safely with little kids, that kind of thing. Not really planning to do any serios hiking, may be a smaller mountain in the area, as we'll have a baby with us. I mean we would've gone to a park in Ontario but we are...

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    Someone in another forum recommended me Meacham Lake Campground a bit further up highway 30. Anyone can help me decide between that one and Rollins Pond? Thanks Yan

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    What about Fish Creek Campground itself - is it not too good? Too close to the highway?

    Thanks! We were considering this campground - I guess it's just moved up on the list :)

    Question on Campgrounds in the Adirondacks

    Looking for info on either Cranberry Lake campground or Highley Flow State Park. Any cons or pros for either? Or may be you can recommend another campground in the Tupper Lake - Saranac Lake area? Thanks, Yan ------------------------ I guess I should've given more info. We want (ideally) a...

    Algonquin/Wright on Sunday, March 20th

    Iroquois Well Shayne, I honestly don't know if we'll have enough fuel (and time) left after climbing Algonquin, but I would consider continuing on and going on Iroquois. Which way would you want to go back, the same way or through Avalanche pass? I posted the same ad in the ADK Forum, and a guy...
