There is a slide on Colden that intrigues me. It is a slide that faces west and whose bottom is near Lake Colden? The hiking trail going up Colden from Lake Colden is south of this slide and faily close to it. If you are on top of Algonquin and looking at Colden, this slide is on the right...

I have heard of this slide and I'd like to know where it is on Colden. Is this the slide that faces west and whose bottom is near Lake Colden? In this case, the trail going up Colden from Lake Colden would be south of this slide and faily close to it. If so, has anyone had any experience...

I understand that this can vary from year to year, but when do black flies generally begin to get really bad in the High Peaks region of the ADKs? By bad, I mean that it is uncomfortable to do an overnight trip as you are surrounded by flies as you prepare your evening and morning meals, not to...

I understand that bear proof cannisters will be required in the ADKs this summer. I have a question for those of you who have used them before. Where do you put them at night if you sleep in a lean-to or a tent? Do you need to hang them on a branch? Do they need to be many feet away from...

Hi folks: I am wondering if this road (beginning at the junction with the road that goes to Heart Lake, and ending at the gate where people park) is plowed in winter. Is it possible to drive on this road at this time of the year with a regular sedan? Thanks. EMM Ottawa, Canada

Has anyone tried telemarking recently in this area? Is there enough snow? I am thinking of places like the top of Marcy and slides near the Ore Bed trail on Gothics, etc. Thanks. EMM Ottawa, Canada

I am looking for information about which mountains and slopes are best for telemark skiing in the High Peaks region. I already know that a few slides are skiable, e.g. slides on Colden, but are there other slides and trails that provide good telemark skiing? Many thanks. EMM Ottawa, Canada

Hello: I am looking for ideas regarding anchors for winter tenting as aluminum stakes (for summer use) do not work well in winter. I have used two solutions but have not been overly happy with them. First, I have used plastic bags filled with snow. They work reasonably well but don't last...

Would anyone know if there is a trail up Panther Gorge? If so, how far up does it go? Thanks. Emmanuel

Hi folks: Would anyone know if there is a herdpath up Shanty brook which starts at the east base of Basin and Saddleback? Thanks. EMM

Would anyone know if there is an unofficial trail along the west side of Lower Ausable Lake? I am planning a hike starting at Ausable road near St. Huberts, making my way up to Gothics, over to Saddleback, Basin, and returning down to Upper Ausable Lake. I would prefer not to have to have to...
