    “...to grow closer to the one who made me and these mountains...”Amen brother, it’s the same reason I climb!

    I’ve been all over the West, I’ve been to the South Island of New Zealand and seen beautiful and stunning landscapes.
    But there’s nothing like the Adirondacks.
    Spent my childhood summers at Schroon at the cabin my grandpa built by himself. Now I live in a bus and travel there each year with my wife. God created this wilderness with a uniqueness I can’t describe. This place has shaped me to who I am today and who I want to be.

    "I must be today what i want to be tomorrow. I can't keep living in the tomorrow because tomorrow is never here, it is always the present. I take this journey as a way to deepen my passion, and to grow closer to the one who made me and these mountains"
    - damn, you have uprooted my entire life logic that I now realize is only procrastination, and I thank you for it

    Just completed my first out of 46 on Saturday.. i hiked to the top of cascade with my dog.. it was such a surreal experience I cried when I got back to the car bc I’ve been dreaming of climbing a mountain over 4k ft for 2 years I’m not in the best shape & have been smoking cigs for years & used to abuse drugs & my addiction to the mountains has changed my life & it all started with my first trip to the high peaks last year since then I’ve done nothing but wonder about the tops of those mountains.. congrats for somebody who’s new to hiking this is the type of shit that drives me anybody can do it if they put their mind to it

    Well done guys. I need that as a fellow 46er. It can get pretty crazy out there with that ADK wind and rain. Did some overnighting during winter month’s, getting soaked threw and “ dying slowly” for me was definitely a trip too. (don’t sweat in the winter it can be a killer.)

    There is a great boulder next to round pond, that you can sleep on, it's perfectly flat on top. I haven't done all 46 and after doing saddleback with out any views I lost interest, however that was in the 1980s. I am 62 now and would love to complete all of them.

How many days does it take to reach Indian head mountain and how long did it take you through that path to reach the beautiful sight of all the mountains? (The first sight while you where walking)

      Indian head takes about 2 hours to get to one way via the Ausable Club route. Nippletop mountain also takes about 4 hours one way and is very strenuous!
