Hi,
A friend and I are heading up to the adirondacks this coming tuesday and plan to stay until thursday...need a little help.
I have hiked the catskills and decided to head up to the adirondacks this time.
Im not familiar with the adirondacks and can only really find day hikes in some of the books Im going through. I would prefer a loop but am open to all suggestions.
For now Im planning on doing Tongue Mountain Range Loop but Im afraid we may go through it in a day, if we take our time could be two days. Is there a lot to take in to spread out over three days? From what I have read and the maps I looked at it looks like a nice hike. I also liked it becasue it seems somewhat difficult, we are not looking for anything extreme.
Any other loops we should consider for this three day trip?
Indian Pass-Lake Colden Loop
High Falls Loop
Middle Settlement Lake Loop
Pharaoh Mountain and Lake Loop
Im looking for something in the southern adirondacks or looking to keep my drive from Brooklyn around 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Should I consider a straight trail instead of a loop?
Im looking to stay out in the woods for three days, at first I was considering doing a few trails and just drive around the adk but we decided we would like to leave the car on tue, then come back to it thursday.
Also I was thinking about buying "Hiking New York" today, is that book worth it?
Thank you.
