April 3, 2021Short in length, but still a good workout! Warm on the trail but breezy and cool in the tower. Boots were fine, just be careful in the wet snow that still remains near the summit. Beautiful views of the high peaks in the distance.
April 3, 20214/2/2021 The trail had an 1-2 inches of new snow from the day before. A few wet areas but the trail is not in bad shape. I used micro spikes on the way down for additional traction. We had the mountain and tower to ourselves, only ones there. Steady climb took us 45 minutes up. Views are breathtaking.
March 28, 2021Great hike. A little bit muddy, not many potholes. No need for snow shoes or crampons.
March 24, 2021Had a good time. Still a lot of snow, and very slippery. We didn’t make it to the top, but are amateurs lacking proper equipment for these trail conditions.
March 20, 2021March 13, 2021Lots of posthole action, slippery as it warmed up
February 28, 2021Trails were packed well, snowshoes or crampons a must!! Windy at the top but still gorgeous
February 24, 2021Had a great day hiking 2/21 with my baby.Had our first kiss on the way up to the summit. By far some of the best views of the Adirondack mountain
February 21, 2021Trail in great shape met awesome group of women from north county was awesome day for views
February 9, 2021This one is a real calf burner in the snow! Even with spiked snowshoes and poles I was slipping frequently, and had to take a lot of breaks on the way up. Beautiful views at the top though, even today when the snow obscured a lot of it. AWD is useful on the way in. All the roads are plowed, but there is enough snow on them to be a bit slippery.
February 8, 2021January 31, 2021Beautiful trail the entire way
January 23, 2021January 23, 2021Short but steep, packed out trail as of today. Fire tower cab open and gives amazing views all the way around but also amazing views from a lookout below. Because of the steady incline up, it is fantastic butt sledding down to the bottom!
January 15, 2021Short sweet hike. Microspikes the whole way. Was suppose to be overcast and cloudy... instead blue bird sky and trees laden in snow. Just gorgeous!!!!
January 10, 2021January 10, 2021Beautiful weather and a well packed trail!
January 9, 2021great quick winter hike to firetower
January 1, 2021Great trail. Hard to really say though because it was covered in snow! The giant rock/cave cluster was a fun surprise on the way up. Lora of snow and ice, wear spikes or you won’t make it. Gorgeous views from the top in multiple locations
November 29, 2020October 25, 2020Nice trail. Short and steep.
October 24, 2020Great!
October 16, 2020The trail was in great shape and I really enjoyed this hike. There were so many leaves off of the trees and covered the trail. The fire tower that stands at the summit was the highlight with awesome views in all directions. Interestingly there are two large piles of rocks that lies beneath the tower. It appears that they have been placed there over time. Another highlight was a deer I saw just outside of the parking area. I wish I had known about this trail sooner when the leaves were at their peak of color.
October 14, 2020The entire trail was beautiful with the autumn leaves. The beginning was a treat then it got hefty the slope increased so bring a stick!! Overall, the view is veryyy worth it, with the firetower as a major plus!!
October 10, 2020Hiked the mountain today. What a view at the top of the fire tower. Beautiful
October 9, 2020As soon as we started up the trail, it started to rain. By the time we got to the top, the rain had stopped. Even with the cloud cover, the view was still amazing. Coming down was difficult - very steep and hard on the knees!
