Paddling the Raquette River in the Adirondacks
Просмотров 4714 часов назад
A relaxing day on the Raquette River in the Adirondacks. We paddled from Axton Landing to the takeout for Lower Falls, and walked the short trail to the falls. It was a beautiful early fall day, with relatively few people on the river.
Hiking Wright Peak in the Adirondacks
Просмотров 4621 час назад
In the Adirondack High Peaks, Wright Peak is one of the "easier" hikes on the MacIntyre Range. It offers magnificent views of nearby Algonquin Peak, as well as Heart Lake, Mount Jo and Lake Placid in the distance. From the ADK Loj, the hike is about 7 miles roundtrip and 2,500 feet of elevation gain. The summit elevation is 4,587 feet and is known to be one of the windiest summits in the High P...
Canoe Camping with our Dog!
Просмотров 108День назад
When camping with our dog (Maddie), we especially like small islands that have only one campsite so that we can give Maddie a little freedom while keeping a close eye on her. On this trip Bartlett Island was ideal! Buck Island was larger with multiple campsites, so Maddie had less freedom there. For Maddie's gear, we pack a non-skid mat in the canoe, a life jacket, waterproof leash, water/food ...
Adirondack Rail Trail: Lake Placid To Saranac Lake
Просмотров 18821 день назад
Ride with us on the Adirondack Rail Trail from Lake Placid to Saranac Lake. An awesome bike trail through woods and fields, and along ponds with mountains in the distance. We stopped for lunch in Saranac Lake at Barley Sandwich (the BEST!). After a bite to eat, we continued across Lake Colby before turning around and heading home.
Backpacking Table Top and Mt Colden
Просмотров 73Месяц назад
We did a 2-day, 1-night backpacking trip to hike Table Top and Mt Colden in the Adirondack High Peaks. Many lessons learned. The campsites by Lake Arnold were incredibly muddy with lots of blowdowns. As a result, several were closed and the one where we camped was sub-par. Hiking down Mt Colden (toward Colden Lake) was treacherous! The slab rock was steep and slick. Very wet and slippery. It wo...
Hike Mt Van Hoevenberg East Trail
Просмотров 30Месяц назад
Awesome afternoon hike up nearby Mt Van Hoevenberg, just outside Lake Placid, NY. We hiked the original west trail years ago, but they’ve since created a new trail on the east side that’s incredibly well done. Lots of stone steps and fairly smooth walking (by ADK standards). It’s 3.5 miles round trip, 920 feet of vertical gain, and a big payoff with spectacular views at the top. A nice option f...
Hike Goodnow Fire Tower
Просмотров 29Месяц назад
Come with us as we hike up to Goodnow Fire Tower in the Adirondacks. Near Newcomb, in upstate New York, the Goodnow fire tower was built in 1922. The ADK Mountain Club's fire tower challenge involves hiking to at least 23 fire tower summits: 18 of 27 in the Adirondack Park and all 5 in the Catskill Park. Including our latest summit of Goodnow, we've now completed 10 of these hikes.

A Skurka Adventure in the High Sierra
Просмотров 79Месяц назад
Three-day Fundamentals backpacking trip in the High Sierra organized and led by Skurka Adventures. A short but very memorable trip! Incredible scenery. Peak wildflowers. Swimming in alpine lakes. “Cowboy camping” (aka without a tent) under the stars - mainly because my backpacking bestie and I were too tired to put up our tents! Unusually hot temperatures that nearly killed us. And one of the h...
Wandering Through a Forest of Giant Sequoias
Просмотров 692 месяца назад
Join us for a walk along the North Grove Trail in the Calaveras Big Trees State Park, California. Established in 1931, the park preserves a mixed conifer forest with two groves of giant sequoias. The North Grove loop was less than 2 miles long, with relatively few other people. So peaceful. Coastal redwood trees are the tallest tree species on the planet, and some of the trees may be as old as ...

ADK Spring Paddle in St Regis Canoe Area
I have wanted to get to Saranac Lake for 40 years. Looks like its worth the 6 hour drive for me. Hopefully next year!
Worth it!
Beautiful day.
Maddie needs a GoPro collar
Yesss!
Maddie is a star!
Social media diva!
How you like it?
Fun! Amazingly well constructed trail. We’ve since taken the section from Saranac Lake to Lake Clear, and it was even more scenic!
@@GenX_outdoors ya I will be biking it soon
Very cool trail. 👍🙂
@@myatlantictravel It was gorgeous and very few other people.
Very nice thank you
@@mfranquemont1884 Thanks! Great trail!
Good afternoon… just finished watching all four of your videos. Absolutely beautiful trip you had. Can I ask what week of May you went? I am planning to do a thru hike next spring. I would love to see all the Flora and Fauna as well as beautiful Lake Superior.
Thanks for watching! The wildflowers really blew me away! I hiked the trail May 23-26. Have fun planning your trip for next year. You’ll have a great time!
I'll be driving up from SE Florida to hike the trail in a couple weeks, reservations made, permits printed out :). Native Michigander but haven't been back "home" since 2005, very excited about my hike, it's too hot to hike here in FL right now, heat index over the next few days over 100 :( I'm very much enjoying your video.
So much of the trail is shaded, it'll be great. Absolutely gorgeous, and you can always get in the water to cool off. My favorite section was between Seven Mile Creek and Chapel Beach (day 3 in my vlog series)! Have fun!
@@GenX_outdoors So so looking forward to it, I haven't seen a Maple, Birch or Poplar tree in almost 20 years :( Getting kinda sick of palm trees to be perfectly honest LOL. My first stop is Au Sable Site #2 so that was kinda cool seeing you stayed and videoed the site too!!
@@mikem5933 And that feeling when you cross Mighty Mac!
Breathtaking presentation my friend, your content looks always so professional!
Thank you very much!
Lovely episode my friend 🏔️🥾
Thanks!
This video is like a love letter to nature! Every frame is filled with such beauty and tranquility. Great work!
Thank you so much 😀
Lovely upload my friend, so nicely narrated and filmed!
Thank you! It was beautiful weather that day!
I recognize you lol. I subscribed. Hope you had a good trip. I went ahead and pushed on out that third day. Bugs were wild that day lol
Outstanding work my friend, shots are just gorgeous!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the info on the base weight (13 lbs) and your pack weight!
Absolutely. It made a huge difference in the comfort of my hike! And with all the services along the TCT, it’s easy to reduce weight if you plan accordingly.
That is definitely the hardest stretch of the trail. Even coming down was hard because it was so steep and full of pebbles.Was awesome though!
Yes it was!
When I did the Trans-Catalina trail, I did it backwards and hiked from Two Harbors to Blackjack. I stopped in Little Harbor to eat lunch and was thinking, "Why didn't I stay here?? It is super nice." Next time I am.
Little Harbor was a great campground! I thought the main LH area was actually nicer than the Shark Harbor campsites, but depends if you want a grassy location vs beach.
Such a lovely adventure my friend. Fantastic presentation 👏👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I love the Trans-Catalina Trail. I am doing it again in June.
It's a great trail. June will be warm!! Have fun.
@@GenX_outdoors I have a big hat! :-)
This looks like a wonderful hiking trip! Great trail, great film and beautiful colors out there.
Spring is perfect for the TCT!
That’s a lot of frogs!
Cute Dog!
