    The trail up Gray is hard and not worth the effort. The trail up Skylight is easy and rewarding. The views from Marcy are magnificient. The catwalks just before the Feldspar leanto were under 4 inches of water. That w...

    Very nice hike. The trail was in good condition. We walked slowly. That is why I labled it moderate. On Wright, the signs pointing to the crash site were misleading and inapropriate.

    If you want just a nice day hike, do only Phelps. The trail can be wet, but it is manageble. There were trillions of flies. But they dont seem too hungry.

    A very long loop ("lollipop") around the lakes in the high peaks area of the ADKs. As the day was cloudy I altered my plans to climb to Algonquin peak and instead circled the lakes (Avalanche, Colden and Arnold) and the ...

    Moderate to Difficult - the distance and elevation gain don't tell the whole story. You can't beat the views!!! One of the "easier" ADK46 (yea, right!).

    Had a hard time finding the "Balanced Boulders" - there are no signs or indications. Talked with a 'local' when coming down and found them. Wouldn't have found them without the help. Now you know where they are!

    Mt Van Hoevenberg, great view of the high peaks and nice beaver pond on the way. The trail is very easy and can be done with young kids. It is well marked all the way by yellow disks, so orientation is never a problem.
