Short Hikes*
Baxter from Rt. 9N on Spruce Hill - 2.18 mi. round trip.
Mostly easy to moderate grades lead to a series of blueberry-covered ledges with
nice views of Keene Valley, the Great Range, and Marcy.
First Brother - 3.0 mi. round trip. This trail, though steep
in spots, ascends via a beautiful series of ledges to a summit with good views
of Keene Valley, Giant, the Great Range, and Marcy. See description for
Big Slide via Brothers from Garden.
Moderate Hikes*
Porter Mt. from Garden with return via Ridge Trail to Airport -
8.38 mi. point to point. An ascent with relatively easy grades and a nice
view from Little Porter, with a return via the Ridge Trail and its many views
including the ledges on aptly named Blueberry Mt.
Harder Hikes*
Gothics via ADK Range Trail - 14.67 mi. round trip. A
rugged loop including two peaks before Gothics' spectacular descent of the
West face.
|
Haystack Mt. - 17.72 mi. round trip. Too many hikers
come to the Adirondacks just to climb Mt. Marcy. and don't realize that it
is far better to sit in relative solitude on the finest summit in all of
the Adirondacks and gaze at Marcy.
