The days leading up to this final peak were filled with a lot of nervous energy. For some reason I was very anxious about this final summit to complete my 46er quest. The night before we stayed in Lake Placid. It again was a night with little sleep. We woke up early so that we could begin at...

No Una Dogger I'm saving Whiteface for the 46th so my children can enjoy it with me. Thanks Yvon I'm not far away now:) Viewseeker, it is a good feeling to be so close. I don't plan to stop with the 46er though. I'm going to do some of these others that I see on the boards. I live close to...

Esther and Whiteface:)

Accomplished my climb of Giant & Rocky Peak Ridge on Sunday 8/24. These were #43 and #44 for me. We got to the trail head about 7am and signed the register. Immediately we began the climb up Giant. The trail was in great shape with hardly no mud. It was a cool, but sunny morning as we began...

It sure will be hard to match this one:)

Started out from JBL with the weather being questionable. Trails were wet and muddy from previous days of rain. Nothing that could not be dealt with though. Took the Phelps trail to our first quest of the day, Haystack. By the time we reached the ridge it was apparent that it was going to be...

I plan to hike Haystack, Basin, Saddleback, Gothics from the John's Brook Lodge on Saturday. My question is, once on Gothics should I take the Ore Bed Brook trail back to the garden or the Beaver Meadow Falls trail back to the lake road and Ausable club? Any advice on this would be greatly...

Took some time and headed up to the high peaks for a few days. We hiked into the JBL on Saturday evening. Got up bright and early Sunday and headed out for Marcy, Skylight, and Gray. The trails were covered in water from the rain the evening before. All the usual water crossings were...

Trail up to junction for Nippletop and Colvin was pretty good. Few muddy spots, easily averted though. Trail from Colvin to Blake was nothing but MUD, MUD, MUD. The rain made it really slippery as well. Comment: Bees seemed to have found a home on the summit of Colvin. They began swarming...

Congratulations on your 46er accomplishment!!!! Glad you had a nice day for your finish.

Started from the upper works parking lot at 6.15am. We encountered some light dew in the long meadow after the red and yellow trail split. After getting back into the woods and the junction with the blue trail, there was a long steady uphill section. We paused for pictures at David...

Trails were in great shape. A few slightly muddy places encountered, but easily traversed. Herd path along Herbert Brook to Marshall was in and out of stream bed. Generally, in great shape all the way to top. Great views if you searched. Bugs were present near summit and on top.

Five Head, Yeah I know. It was about five minutes after you went down, that I did. Those hurts will last awhile for me. It will always be something I remember about Allen. Thank you for sharing the hike with us as well. And for the little extra help across skylight brook. Glad we met...

Viewseeker, We're planning to do Marshall this weekend. Our plan is to do one every weekend this summer. These mountains might kick butt some times, but what a way to get in shape:)

Signed into register at 6:30am. Met up with Five Heads and his son. Had a great day comparing notes on various hikes. River crossing was very cold in the morning crossing, but very refreshing on the way back. Very easy to get across and follow the temporary trail. Our feet got soaked from...

Very sorry for your loss. May God's peace of understanding comfort you in this time of sadness. Stephanie & Bruce Martin

Allen Great post, as we are wondering this as well. We are looking to do Allen this coming Friday. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks Just wanted to Thank everyone for all your insight to the Old/New Trail. We found it without issue. It was a very long, wet, and mud filled day, but we managed to get all three done. Thanks again for all your help:) Stephanie

Black Spruce, Thanks so much. I will be printing these all off and looking at my map to compare. I appreciate all the help on this.

Santanoni trail Thanks so much for the reply. I just finished reading your post. Is the bypass noticeable?
