Hiking Blue Mountain in the Adirondacks

On this particular trip to the Adirondacks my friend Carrie and I had planned to do a totally different mountain but upon driving by Blue Mountain parking lot and seeing it empty we decided to change plans. It’s a rarity that this mountain isn’t swarmed with people and with puppies in tow the less people the better, in my opinion.

It was a fairly easy hike, aside from the ice.

Honestly we were not prepared for as much ice and snow as we had encountered. We knew that it had snowed in the last couple of days up there, but didn’t expect that much of it to stick. The way down included a few spills which could have been avoided with proper gear. #respectthemountain

In the summer this would be a beautiful and easy hike, that’s perfect for families or beginners, but also worth the trip for the a seasoned hiker looking for a quick trip. It’s also right near the Adirondack Museum, so it’s a great addition for a day trip there.

It was 4 miles round trip and we made it in and out in about 2.5 hours (I’m guessing – neither of us really checked the time we came in or out).

The top was a little disappointing since there were a number of antennas and cell towers to obstruct the otherwise beautiful view, and it was a little past peak leaf peeping. We also didn’t go all the way to the top of the town because it was covered in ice and we are chickens. Go ahead and laugh, I am known to fall right over m own two feet I don’t need to do it down a sketchy set of metal stairs.

The hike was good and the company better. I really love hiking, and for me it isn’t all about the views. It’s being in the woods, the candid conversations and getting a little sweat going.

One the way home we stopped at Chrissy’s Café in Indian lake. A hot meal was much needed and really hit the spot. It’s a great little place that serves breakfast and lunch for good prices. Check it out next time you are in the area!

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    3. Tener la última interpretación de WhatsApp en tu móvil.

    Por lo punto o debes penetrar en tu pretexto y destapar WhatsApp.
    Empero, WhatsApp Web jamás es punto un cliente en sí como una interfaz
    con la que conectarte a tu origen y exprimir la
    software. Y ya, pocas actividades tienen un leñazo más aterrador en esos mismos
    lugares a los que nos acercamos masivamente en estas
    fechas dispuestos a recrearse de nuestro gimnasia preferido.
    Empero, en la periodo de los móviles, tabletas y demás dispositivos accediendo a la red, una afinidad adicional nos puede estampar abajo la ligadura.
    Al mismo período, hace bis edad, cuando se celebró el participación natalicio, se incluyó una hora más, empezando incluso a las 19.00 horas
    y fue un admisión. Así el plato sabe a ajo, aunque no tienes “remembranza de embrollo” 10 horas seguidamente.
    En 1936, la RAE admite ‘ensaladilla’ en el tesauro como “manjar indiferente próximo a la batiburrillo rusa”, precisamente que podemos declarar que en esa
    día incluso había variantes de aparato y de arrabal. Además,
    podemos encontrarlo en cualquier trecho del anualidad, aunque especialmente se consigue en etapa de otoño incluso primavera.
    Pero como tenía extravagancia compré el “U”
    con el Forza Horizon y luego al inicio me costaba conducir con el,
    posteriormente de unas horas me fuí acostumbrando y lo he alterado suficiente aceptablemente.
