    Blue Mountain- May 31, 2010

    The trail to the summit is in excellent condition; very dry. We took two hours to ascend and stopped along the way to enjoy the nature trail. Lots of black flies at the top so be prepared for a quick lunch. Views from the top were somewhat obscured due to the smoke from the fires in Quebec...

    Seymour on Dec. 23

    A great day of winter mountaineering. The gate was still open and there were no cars in the area. Eventually two other cars arrived. It was cold all day (-15 oF) and there was a light snow. The trail was broken all the way to the top and it was easy to follow. Thanks to the trail-breakers...

    August 24-Gray Peak and Skylight

    Conditions: Trails from ADK Loj all the way to Lake Arnold are in very good shape. Kudos to the trail crews that work so hard to maintain them. The trail from Lake Arnold to Felspar Brook is VERY wet, but the logs and bridges here and there help tremendously to navigate through the marsh...

    Cliff from Flowed Lands- March 14, 2009

    The hard-packed trail from Upper Works to Flowed Lands was in excellent shape. We crossed Flowed Lands safely as we stayed to the right and headed around the point to the base of the cliffs. The ice across the Opalescent is thinning, and it will not be long before it opens up. Once to the...
