I was up Allen in November 2003 and still have photos in my online photoalbum, if'n your interested in taking a look at them. The view(s) couldn't have been any better than the day I was up there... http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/102558334ifemOK The wife and I are heading up to the Daks...

This Place Is The Best Great information, thank you guys very much!!!

Maybe I Should Just Purchase One Thanks guys! While driving to work this morning it occurred to me that I'll be heading back to the Daks a number of times to complete the 46ers (20 more peaks after this next trip) which makes me wonder if purchasing a bear canister would save me money in the...

No not "beer" canisters...bear canisters. :D I will be travelling up either 28 through Old Forge or up 87 from Saratoga Springs and be driving through Keene and Lake Placid to get to the ADK Loj. Can someone suggest places they know of along these routes that rent bear canisters? Thanks Tom

Thank You Very Much! Great info, this was what I was hoping for. I didn't know that about the canisters. Nor did I know of the Shepherd's Tooth. We will be hiking in Wed, dayhiking the loops the next two days, then hiking out and getting a hotel room on Saturday. Thank you very much...

WOW, I just signed in and the Welcome field it states I last visited on 11-3-2005...1 year and 1 day ago. :eek: Can I get some comments regarding a hike I will be doing in a few weeks? I plan to do a few loops during Nov 15-18 and will hiking in from the DAK Loj and be camping in the Marcy...

Wow! What a small world...I'll bet I passed you guys somewhere up there.

Noone? ANYONE???

My revised itinerary is as follows... Heading out Wed night (16th) and crashing in van, Driving in and hiking to camp (?Ward Brook Lean-to?)on Thurs (17th), Hitting Seymour (4120') then moving camp to Calkin's Brook on Fri (18th), Doing Seward (4361'), Donaldson (4140')and Emmons (4040') on...

You know might be addicted to hiking... ...if you see a female wearing popular hiking gear clothing and use that to strike up a conversation with her. :D nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!

Saw the thread and thought I'd give you a peak (no pun intended, lol) at your planned hike. So if'n you want to check out some pictures of my Allen trip on Thanksgiving Day 2003, here is the link... http://community.webshots.com/album/102558334ifemOK

Got the days off to head up North on Thurs March 17 to do some hiking. If I can find anyone interested, I'd like to hit the Seward Range. If not, not sure what I'm going to do, frankly. Common sense tells me don't do it alone...even though I've done 12 of 15 solo already (1 in winter...

Sorry to hear of your plight, coldfeet. I unfortunately did my first solo after a dood backed out of a trip at the last minute. There was noone else to take his place, so I did the hike anyways. I can't say I was truely alone because I had my dog with me to talk to. Regardless, I know what...

To all, thank you very much for your insite. Is there any other info I should take into consideration...Steep icy slides, laddered ledges, lots of stream crossings, etc? btw - here are some pics of my last cold-weather Dak excursion...

This is info I need to know...Thanks skyclimber! All I have to go with is my AMC High Peaks book, and it states.. The usual route to Seward begins at the bridge 0.2mi. SE of the clearing where the red foot trail from Coreys (trail 129) joins the fire truck trail. This is also the third bridge...

Anyone Care To Join? Been thiking of heading out Wed night and crashing in van, driving in and hiking to one of the leantos up from Ward Brook on Thurs, hitting Seward, Donaldson and Emmons on Fri, Seymour on Sat and (maybe) move to a leanto closer to the vehicle, then heading out and drive...

Feed Them Lots Of Treats..............And Love My dog never liked the booties from the getgo, but we all sure did get a good laugh at his expense watching him try to walk with the boots on. The ones I have seem very slippery to him as there is no traction just a smooth rubber surface. Dogs...

Been thinking of doing a peak bagging trip before Spring sets in, and the Seward Range is in my mind. Although I've done 1/3 of the 4k peaks and some in winter conditions, I technically have not done any (in the Daks) during the Winter season. I did a Trail Conditions search and found little...

So how was the hike? Here's some pics of my trip up Allen last Thanksgiving day 2003. http://community.webshots.com/album/102558334ifemOK

I Agree With Dugan...Rescue A Dog From A Shelter I can only comment on my Golden Retriever as being a good trail dog. The guy is soft-hearted and very friendly, quiet unless someone is coming into camp, non-aggressive, smart and obedient. I searched for another Dog thread where I posted a...
