Hi, I am looking to do a couple of day-hikes between December 11th and December 19th in the ADKs, preferably on weekdays, and am looking for a partner. I recently finished my first round of the 46 peaks and have done a few (Cascade, Porter, Lower Wolfjaw, Big Slide, Phelps, Sawteeth, and...

Is anyone interested in hiking Wednesday June 18th or Thursday June 19th (but preferably the 18th)? I would be most interested in hiking Seward, Donaldson, and Emmons via Calkins brook or Cliff and Redfield, probably from Upper Works. Seymour is also a possibility. I will be staying over the...

I hope to hike the Seward, Donaldson, and Emmons via the Calkins brook route next week. 1. Will Corey’s road be open all the way until the trailhead? 2. Does anyone know the exact mileage for the loop? I have had a hard time finding it but think it may be 13.7 tough miles. 3. How hard...

Thanks for your advice and encouragement. I have a few more questions. I have never started from the Elk Lake trailhead before. Coming from I-87, are there any motels where I can spend the night that are on the way to the trailhead? Also, are there signs on all of the summits? Thanks in...

Hi, I am relatively new to winter hiking and am hoping to do another one of the Adirondack peaks (within the next few days). I know about the distances, elevation gains, etc, but I like to get your opinions on how challenging/safe they are. How do Big Slide via the Brothers, and Esther and...

Thanks to everybody for your responses! I am certainly prepared to turn around, and probably quicker than necessary, until I feel more comfortable in the winter.

Last winter I did a guided climb with EMS of Mt. Washington and loved it. Though it certainly was not easy. I'm interested in trying a winter hike in the Adirondacks in a few weeks, possibly unguided, and have a few questions for you. Firstly, would a hike up Cascade (and possibly Porter) be...

I am considering hiking/skiing Tuckerman Ravine in a few weeks. Please give me your opinions on necessary footwear. I hiked the Lions Head winter route this year with an EMS guide but have only done Tuckerman's in the summer. From what I've read it seems like crampons aren't required, or am...
