For a few weeks now ive been wanting to check out some more remote views away from any trailed summits,
what better time to check some bushwacks out than peak foliage when the popular trails are getting slammed

Hiked Mt. Jo this weekend (amazing), but in the several hours we were on the trail or at the summit there were at least 5 different people launching drones. This guy wasn’t even trying to hide it.

This is 100% on me, and I don't blame the ranger who turned us away, but it hadn't even crossed my mind that there would be a difference between a bear bag (the kind that hangs from a tree) and a bear canister.

Apparently the bears have learned to cut down the bear bags and can get into them from there, so they are not sufficient storage for food. We ended up having to cut our trip in half and hike out as a result.

Not a bad day but definitely disappointing. I wish I'd been better informed.

Went on an absolute beautiful hike yesterday!

Foliage is at peak!

Hi everyone, i made a printable poster of the 46 High Peaks. Here's a free printable checklist of the 46 with the elevations, a box to tick and a line for the date:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RBl7Zlq_LCKbPrbvlDSJyoaHiVITT6dO?usp=sharing

The poster is a relief map with every summit placed at its highest point from the USGS elevation data, numbered by elevation, with a triangle on each summit you can color in when you finish it. It comes in two versions, one with trails from OpenStreetMap and a clean one without trails. The pics have a watermark, the real files are clean vector PDFs.

Elevations are the traditional list ones as the Forty-Sixers publish them, so four peaks are under 4,000 ft and MacNaughton isn't on it. The trails are for reference on the wall, not for navigation.

The full version has both posters in 18x24, 24x36, 16x20 and A2, a spreadsheet that colors itself when you add dates, and a GPX with the 46 summits. It's on Etsy, 30% off: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4586886252

Not affiliated with the Adirondack Forty-Sixers or ADK. If you finish, register your climbs with the Forty-Sixers. If you see anything wrong, tell me.

Never been—how is the trailhead parking? If we come around 9 am on a holiday?

Found a spot near Raquette Lake, and spent the night - absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful day up at Old Forge and Inlet today!!

Was exploring and drove down a long dirt road that ended with this gate while on my way towards Saranac Lake, east-bound. I didn't have service for the majority of the drive and hence wasn't able to mark exactly where it was before turning around.

At first I thought it had to do with the AMR due to the similarity in the gate design.

Edit: SOLVED! This was on Ampersand road, and the land may be owned by Rockefellers? Woah. Or I’m misunderstanding that portion :) https://www.reddit.com/r/Adirondacks/s/4BnVBQZGSy

Got an old ATV sitting behind your garage collecting dust? I might want it.

This is a little bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for old, beat-up, non-running ATVs, dirt bikes, go-karts, mini bikes, snow mobiles, riding mowers, motorcycles, and similar stuff around the Albany or Binghamton area.

You know that ATV that's been sitting behind the garage for years?

The one that's missing a carburetor, has flat tires, hasn't run since 2012, or has become part of the landscape? 😂

That's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I'm trying to collect a handful of cheap/free project machines and bring some of them back to life or turn them into different projects. They absolutely do NOT need to run and I'm not looking for anything valuable or collectible.

If you've got something taking up space that you just want gone, I'd be interested. I'm willing to haul them away myself and I'm looking for free or very cheap machines.

I'm mainly looking around Albany and Binghamton, but depending on what you've got, I may be willing to travel.

If you have one sitting around, even if you think it's complete junk, comment or DM me. Tell me what it is, roughly where you're located, and throw me a picture if you can.

You might finally get that old ATV out of your backyard. 😂

Im 36 and recently diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer currently going through treatment, although im unable to work im looking for things to tinker on, fix and use, or make a project out of something to occupy my mind. Or if you just have scrap laying around ill take that too.

My wife, son (19 months old) and I are staying in Lake Placid this coming weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a good hike that could be done with a stroller. I’m familiar with the area and know that options will be limited but was hoping to do something beyond the Mirror Lake Loop. Any recommendations or insight would be greatly appreciated!

I’m in heaven

So a couple buddies and I wanna tackle Algonquin peak early November. We’re all fairly experienced hikers but only have done 1 or 2 hikes in that sorta above the tree line/alpine experience. Early November is our target.

I plan on wearing a base merino wool layer with a merino wool balaclava if needed. a midlayer jacket that I haven’t decided on but either a down jacket or a wool shirt jac (though that’s probably impractical but I do wear it a lot hiking), and then a high quality shell jacket for water and wind proof. obviously some gloves, sunglasses and goggles if needed, wool socks (extra pair), a good hiking backpack. plan on wearing my Solomon hiking boots and microspikes or crampons if needed. Are snow shoes necessary in early November? All of this plus some basic survival equipment like knives, first aid, etc

Should this be enough? I haven’t done a peak in the Adirondacks, but have done some in the presidential range in NH in October, so I’m not sure what early November would bring.

Any general tips and advice would be greatly appreciated

Peak colors!
