Adirondacks-Great Range Traverse- 7/6/12
GRT-Start at Adk Loj, Finish at Rooster Comb. Mountains visited in order, Marcy, Haystacks, Basin, Saddleback, Gothics, Armstrong, Wolf Jaws, Hedgehog, Rooster Comb. 25 miles. Trail Conditions-90% dry, most stream crossings dry. No blow downs. Special equipment-Sunscreen, light clothing for the sunny, 85 degree day. Comments- Caution. If you plan to do this hike as a day hike which I did, please be aware there is no water on traverse after Phelps Trail. This is especially important for anyone who is going from Adk Loj to Rooster Comb. I packed 200oz in two bladders and had enough to get me to the end, but I'm no sweat hog so I can't speak for anyone else if they plan to do the GRT.
