Hiked from the K highway. Not much snow, a lot of ice. We used microspikes from start to finish. The climb up and down East peak was slow and difficult because of the ice. The chimney between the summits had a lot of ice. We bypassed the chimney by scrambling up the rocks to the north side...

It has been many years since I hiked Saddleback Mtn and the Horn. Is there still a trail available to hikers that goes up the Saddleback ski slopes? Thanks!

We hiked from Lincoln Gap to Mt. Ellen and back. There is a sign on the Lincoln-Warren road saying that the road is closed, but we were able to drive all the way to the trailhead. The trail is mostly bare, no snow to speak of. We bare-booted the entire way. Carried microspikes but did not...

Seven of us hiked Mt Marcy from Adirondack Loj on Saturday the 27th. This completed my W46 and W115. Yahooooooooo! We wore snowshoes from start to finish, no crampons needed. The trail was incredibly beautiful with all of the recent snow. The trail was well packed to the spur trail to...

This was our second attempt this season to hike E Dix via the South Fork Boquet River. We followed our tracks from the first attempt well up into the ravine. As we climbed out of the ravine, we left our previous tracks and paralleled the brook for a few tenths of a mile. We then made a staight...

January 10th. We followed a faint path of previous hikers for the first few miles. No difficulties with the brook crossings. The further we went, the more difficult it was to follow the previous tracks because of increased snow. We made it to the ravine, mostly on the established herd path...

A beautiful, warm day! Trail from Upper Works to Flowed Lands was a hard packed super highway. We crossed Flowed Lands for a short cut to Colden Dam. There was a little slush on the surface in spots, but we crossed without a problem. There are many tracks going every which way but the main...

I lost an HP digital camera on the trail somewhere between Santanoni and Times Square on Saturday Feb 28th. It is in a small black camera case. Please send me a private message if you have found it. It has a picture of me on Couchsachraga on the SD card. If no one finds the camera I will...

We started on Rt 73 were it crosses the North Fork Boquet River. There were a few inches of powder over a firm snow base. We followed ski tracks in for the first three miles. Thanks to Alex for excellent route finding. The river crossings were not as solid as I would like, but we were able...

The weather was warm with a little rain off and on. The snow was wet and will freeze hard when cold weather returns. The ascent was via the lake road and Leach Trail. We used snowshoes the entire trip. There were a few icy sections shortly before the Noonmark shoulder which we were able to...

My nephew and I started at Adirondack Loj on Saturday, March 15th,. We pulled sleds past Marcy Dam and Lake Arnold to Feldspar Lean-to. The sleds worked very well except for the climb to Lake Arnold. For this section, we carried the packs and pulled the empty sleds behind. After Lake...

Has anyone bushwhacked from Lake Tear of the Clouds to the summit of Redfield? I am planning on hiking Skylight, Gray and Redfield and I was wondering if a bushwhack would be easier than descending to the Uphill leanto and ascending again. Thanks! Len

The route we followed was the Lake Road, linked to the West Side Trail via Canyon Bridge and the Wedge Brook Trail. The trails are well packed an easy to follow. We used snow shoes the entire trip. There was a little drifting between the false summit and the true summit, but no difficulties...

Anyone up for an overnight trip to Allen on Feb 23 & 24? We could setup camp about 5 or 6 miles in. We could attempt the summit on Saturday or Sunday, I am flexible. I would postpone the trip if the forecast is for very cold or nasty conditions. Please post if you are interested. Len

Trail was well packed all the way to Little Haystack. The last .6 miles from the Range Trail to Haystack was mostly wind blown crusty snow and ice, with a little deep snow in the saddle. Crampons and ice axe used for this section. Attempted Basin. The trail towards Basin showed no signs of...
