On the Fourth of July I tied on my American flag bandana, put lunch and a whole lot of water into a backpack, tied up my boots, and made my way to Black Mountain [Pike Brook Road off of Hulett’s Landing Road, Clemons NY]. Follow the red blazes up 2.5 […]
If you want to have a big hearty lumberjack of a breakfast to fuel a day up in the Adirondacks, there is no better spot than The Silo Restaurant and Country Store [537 Aviation Rd, Queensbury, NY 12804]. Place your order, sip on some coffee, and learn about different styles […]
We were on our way from camping at Dippikill to go white water rafting up in Indian Lake. During the drive I noticed the trailhead for OK Slip Falls [Route 28 and intersection of Beaver Meadow Brook Rd, Indian Falls NY] and mentioned that I wanted to hike it on […]
From high to low. Last year we did Mount Marcy as the first of our 46 – this year we tried Cascade and Porter as our second and third in the Adirondack High Peaks Region. It was a long and physically exhausting weekend for us, camping, chopping wood, white water […]
They say opposites attract. I like to go go go, while Jeff wouldn’t mind staying at home sometimes. A lot of times I’ll run us ragged, and he has to step in and tell us to slow down. Well, when you’re with someone for a long time they say you […]

It’s mountain season again, and I couldn’t be happier! A few weeks ago on a chilly spring day we packed our bags and headed for Prospect Mountain, just moments away from Lake George village. [Turn west from on Route 9 from Lake George village onto Montcalm St. Five blocks to […]
I hiked Crane Mountain in the Adirondacks on a beautiful sunny afternoon. A large portion of the hike has you scrambling up rocks; there are short areas of reprieve to catch your breath. Towards the very end of the way up you reach a tall ladder (so beware if you […]
This weekend we hit the road and headed up to the Adirondacks. Our destination was Sleeping Beauty Mountain for a nice 7 mile hike. The lot was relatively packed, but the numerous trails were anything but crowded. We scored some delicious apples from a tree along the trails. And noticed […]
I just realized, today is the last day of the Adirondack Balloon Festival! I attended this amazing experience a few years back, and still reminisce about its magical feeling. Get there earlier than later, because traffic can get busy. Here you get to watch hot air balloons of all shapes […]
