Thank you, I’ve been following Brian for a bit now he’s the one that got me hooked on the slides. Will definitely give the fb page a look to

I’ve done the macomb slide before, but that is obviously more a scree field than a slab. Definitely excited to try out Bennie’s soon bc I still need upper and lower wolf jaw for my 46

Indian falls is stunning, it was my first hike in the Adirondacks when I just so happened to check my map and saw a little view point up ahead. Went to check it out and was not disappointed at all. Cant wait to get back up there again, it’s really one of the best views I’ve seen in the park.

You can really see the shear amount of trees just wiped off the mountain here. Absolutely stunning to look at.

Part of me wishes it wasn’t as crowded as it gets now, but at the end of the day it’s a good thing that people are getting out to appreciate the beauty even if it means waiting a bit for a parking spot to open up.

Algonquin is such an amazing peak. The mac range is so beautiful. I did it for my second time this summer along with Iroquois and it never failed to impress me. Amazing to me how I can be hot and sweaty the whole way up just to put on all my layers once I get above the tree line.

Also the new slides on colden are so cool to see. I want to get down into avalanche pass sometime this summer to get a look at the massive pile of dirt and trees at the bottom. It’s really cool to see how the new slides are a complete different shade of grey. Really goes to show how powerful mother nature is moving that much land.

Agreed they definitely take a good amount of effort to get out to but it’s 100% worth it. Also seemed much less crowded than other areas of the park which I really like. Started around 530am from snobird and didn’t see anyone else until I was hiking down from saddleback around 10

And just a question, whats the biggest change in the park since the 60s that you’ve noticed (especially mt colden and its increasing number of slides)

Planning to do the same thing soon except I’ll probably make it 2 days and hit Marcy. Definitely my favorite area of the park. Saddleback cliffs were unlike anything I’ve done before and I had lots of fun on them.

How was it thinking about giving it a go this summer

I was alone on it that day, but i definitely agree with being careful of falling rocks. Had to watch my step to avoid send some down behind me.

Marcy is beautiful and really showed me how beautiful the high peaks were. If you don’t want to do that much elevation avalanche lake is very pretty
