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...

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...

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

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.

Hi all, As per Jay H's advice, we won't be attempting this 9 peak day-hike as a traverse, rather we'll do it as a loop starting at rt 47 TH for the Curtis-Ornsbee trail. We would be doing this on January 17th. It's approximately 18 miles and 6000 ft IF we follow all our compass bearings and...

Just wanted to disseminate some info before this is off of our minds... although some e-mails in circulation are not completely well-founded, it is true that as is the case in most areas of sciences where economics plays an important role, there are conflicting reports. dioxin is an endocrine...

aside from the amazing memories of looking down over the adirondacks from 4500+ feet up, something else that remains with me is the terrible swelling in both of my ankles. It was only for two days, and I hiked about 12miles/day. The boots I use, Columbia Bugabootoo (something like this..bought...

Would anyone be interested in doing a day-hike that would traverse these 7 magnificient peaks (+ peekamoose time/energy permitting)? I'd like to do a car-spot, one at Moon Haw and one at Denning as this would give us the shortest, most direct route with the best change of completing the...

Hi, would anyone like to accompany me on a moderately paced (~2 mph) hike up to Wolfjaws, and if we feel like it, perhaps Gothics on Dec 29th? It would be a day trip, and I'd like to start early (around 6). The starting early is negotiable.

I'm interested in doing some hiking in the Adirondacks over the course of the next week. Will anyone else be hiking in the area and wouldn't mind having me along? I can go at your pace (unless you're setting the winter speed record). I have all the necessary equipment, including goggles and...

I remember hiking Gothics and noticing that there were quite a few restrictions on where to park, hike, walk, breathe, or camp in this area. Understandably so. What then, are my options (if any) for setting up camp for a hike up Sawteeth/Gothics/Wolfjaws?

Dec. 31st: Begin to hike/walk up Mt. Washington auto road around 5:00 PM. Approximately ten-twelve hours later expect to reach the summit. Watch the first sunrise of the new year. Hike down. This would only be attempted if good weather (ie. some visibility/no major storms) were predicted...

So, it's my understanding that all DEC grounds are closed. Could people post any campgrounds that they know to still be open and may remain open for a while?

Hi, I'm not sure if the topic of this post is outside the scope of what is appropriate or reasonable to discuss on this board but I was wondering if anyone knows how/from where Sierra Trading Post obtains the merchandise that it offers on the website? While looking at down jackets, for example...

This is our first trip report and our second winter hike, so please forgive us for the amateurish sound or any greviously erroneous decisions or claims we've made: The hike begin at approximately 4:30 PM on Friday when we set out from the un-plowed, iced-over CR56. Our parking spot was...

Hi, we're new to this board, and from DC (not known for its majestic, mountainous vistas), but have a question that someone might be able to field. We're planning a trip to the Black Dome range (Fri-Sun) but, with the six inches of snow for Thursday in the area, are not sure where we should...
