Thanks Andrew. I was looking at the 64st. I like the 4GB of extra space and the preloaded map. I too like the buttons instead of the touchscreen. Thanks again. Happy hiking!

Hi there.

Recently I've been using a Garmin GPSMap 64s. I prefer physical buttons to a touch screen for this sort of application (ie - inclement conditions, etc), so that is why I went for this model instead of one of the other touchscreen-type models.

Andrew- I am wondering what handheld GPS unit you use? I am starting to research for a possible purchase. Currently, I upload your .gpx files into Backcountry Navigator on my smartphone. It works ok, but I deal with constant battery loss. Thank you.

Assuming it has to be a 46er, then you could do this canoe trip up the Upper Hudson, to the Opalescent River, and put out at the river crossing just before the destroyed footbridge... then hike up Allen Mountain.

Paddling the Upper Hudson and Opalescent Rivers

If it doesn't have to be a 46er, St Regis of the Saranac 6 looks like you could canoe from Paul Smith to the trailhead.

There is one high peak that is actually best climbed by a canoe trip start. That is Whiteface and one paddles on Lake Placid, camps at the northeastern tip of Moose Island (there are even leantos here). In the morning, paddle across the lake to Whiteface landing and climb the peak (shortest way up Whiteface and very scenic).

I assume you mean *not* canoe (in your response). The AMR stands for the Adirondack Mountain Reserve - a slice of private land that occupies most of the Ausable Valley from route 73 all the up to and beyond upper Ausable Lake. The AMR has been known recently for some fairly specific restrictions on hiking, access and usage of their land. I'm pretty sure that canoeing is not allowed at all unless you are somehow part of the AMR.

Thanks for the tips, looks like we will just have to keep the trips seperate and do non-high peak hikes like St. Regis Mountain. I have not become an expert on all that is the ADK, what is AMR and why do they allow you to canoe on the Ausable?

Thanks,

Jim

Yeah, that's a tough one... the canoe routes and 46R peaks aren't typically close enough to each other to make such an idea practical. Maybe something in the Henderson Lake area in conjunction with the/a peak of the Santanoni Range. More research would have to be done, though...

Or, possibly a canoe on Lake Placid itself, to Whiteface Landing, followed by a climb of Whiteface. That might work.

Too bad that the AMR doesn't allow public canoeing and camping on Upper and Lower Ausable Lake - then that would be an option.

Hello,

I am just starting my 46 peak journey and I would love to pick your collective brains for a trip idea. Every year my family does a canoe camping trip in the Raquette River region and really enjoy ourselves. Next year I was hoping to add a day hike to one of the 46 high peaks during the trip. Does anyone know of a trip where we could canoe 5-10miles, camp at a lean to and do a day hike to a high peak? I tried to search this type of trip but it doesn't seem to be a common combination. Any help you can provide is greatly apprecaited.

Thank you,

Jim
