PHELPS MOUNTAIN MISSION

Posted on July 16, 2024 by Peter Minde

Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to get your a$$ up one of
the 46 High Peaks before summer is out. If you fail, readers will deny any
knowledge of your existence. This tape will self destruct in 30 seconds.



Eight months into my new life in Saranac Lake, I had yet to get out on one of
the Adirondack 4000. I’ve been on all of them, some of them multiple times, but
most of that was a long time ago.

Sunday had a sketchy forecast. Monday would be better, but my child would be
driving up on Monday to spend the month with me, so Monday was out. Eeny, meeny,
miney, mo. After looking at my options, Phelps Mountain came out on top.

PADDLING LAKE WELCH IN HARRIMAN STATE PARK

Posted on July 9, 2024 by Brownski

Lake Welch in Harriman State Park is a frequent paddling spot for me. There are
multiple reasons for that. It is right off of exit 14 on the Palisades Parkway,
making it supremely accessible. It has a dedicated parking area for paddlers
behind a locked gate so even on the park’s busiest days I am almost guaranteed
to be able to find a spot. It’s big enough to get a modest workout and do a
little exploring so I don’t get too bored with the scenery.



All the lakes in Harriman are compromised as pure nature experiences. The place
is just too popular and too close to the city to find true solitude.

SPRING HIKING IN NEW YORK

Posted on July 2, 2024 by Steve Aaron

Ski season gave way to hiking season in April for me. After a few local hikes to
stretch out the legs, in late April, my dog Stella and I joined my friend Ken
for a hike up Wittenberg Mountain in the Catskills. This was my first “big” hike
of the season, with the goal of meeting up with my daughter Alison and her
friend Alice as they completed their Catskill 3500 peaks on Wittenberg.



Ken, Stella and I started at Woodland Valley, trudging along to the base of the
steeps of Wittenberg. The climb up the steeps was a great challenge so early in
my hiking season and it went well for all three of us. There was one spot where
I had to hand off Stella to Ken to pull her up a tall, steep section.
