    We did thirteen of the high peak Adirondacks, in one month. No order, beginning with Blue Mountain. We were in awesome shape, with carry-on luggage involving two whipper-snappers. 2024, we did three peaks in a month. Trails are disappointingly too easy. Made for comfort. Not the ruggedness of the 1980's. Guess the tourist money is more important than keeping-it wild.

    Wonderful Video ! Had great experiences (OK some not so great - Soaking weekends) doing my 46. Started in 1985; finished in 2010 (after driving up from NC). Never got certified. That's how I chose my RUclips moniker, Anorthosite: It's the actual igneous rock type (not granite) that forms most of the Upper/Lower ranges. It's also what forms most of the Lunar crust. When you stand on top of Marcy, know that the rock under your feet formed 18 MILES beneath the surface, as the underpinnings of a Himalayan-scale range that formed more than a billion years ago. Remnants of the same, and related rock types, also outcrop more extensively to the north, in the Laurentian Mountains of eastern Canada. In surface outcrop, the Adirondacks connect to them via the Thousand Islands region. Since I was last there, there were numerous "fresh" rock slides in the High Peaks, from the hurricane that hit the region and New England several years ago.

    Great, great video. View from Haystack (3rd highest) is rated best view in the high peaks. You should do Algonquin, 2nd highest, easy day hike, incredible view of Marcy, Range, Colden, lakes below and all points north. 2nd rated view. Both are spectacular. In 1967 I took about 6 boys, started at Garden parking lot, and did Gothics, Saddleback, Basin and Haystack in one day. Came down Phelps trail. 20 miles. Weather was clear as a bell. 70 degrees late August. One of the best days of my life.

We began by ascending Indian Head for the sunrise and ended with groping our way down the northwest flank of Westkill after nightfall, with flashlights (the night comes on dangerously quickly in the mountains and we got our pacing slightly wrong)... pretty exhausting! Let's just say it makes a much nicer hike split into two or three legs, so you can take in the stunning scenery and not have to cram down sandwiches on the go! ⛰🏕⛰
