Welcome
to the Adirondack High Peaks section of my web page. This section serves
a dual purpose: to provide a compendium of images and information about
my exploration of these mountains, and to provide a log of the adventures
that led to me becoming Adirondack
46er #5506!
The
Adirondack Park of Northern New York State is a wonderful expanse
of wilderness in the middle of a busy and populous region of the continent.
In fact, it is the largest park in the whole of Eastern North America.
This set of web pages focuses on the more mountainous northeast region
of the park known as the "High Peaks" region. This is an
area characterized by newly-uplifted but ancient-in-composition granitic
rock, worn down over the millennia by erosionary processes into dome-shaped
summits. Trails are often rugged, eroded and steep.
I
hope you find this set of pages to be a good companion resource to all
of the other Adirondack Mountain pages on the internet!

A superb spring-like winter day; Perfect for doing one of the very scenic hikes of the Adirondacks - the 'Mt Colden Loop'. Near-perfect snow conditions and friendly company meant we had a super-smooth, relatively quick day. I'd never be... [more] [image gallery]

On this hike, we were invited to join Julie Moran's Hiking Mates Challenge hiking group, on a challenging loop of the Lower Great Range + Sawteeth. The weather forecast looked unsettled, and it delivered! We had several bouts of heavy rai... [more] [image gallery]
May 18, 2009 : Nun-Da-Ga-O Ridge
Andrew Lavigne, Jennifer Innes, Rene Lavigne, Dan, Asmir Arifovic
Short, easy, varied and quiet Nun-da-ga-o Ridge. An intro hike for Rene and Dan (and an easy refresher hike for Asmir), and hopefully this will whet their appetites for more!
We had cool and mostly cloudy conditions as we started... [more] [image gallery]
