3 Days in the Adirondacks
Marcy Dam, Adirondacks High Peaks Region, NY

Day 3:

The last section of the trail from our camp site at Lake Arnold was an easy walk down to Marcy Dam, then a short flat hike to the trail head. Before we kew it the trip was over, and on all accounts a fantastic success.

Lake Arnold, Adirondacks High Peaks Region, NY

Day 3:

A view from our camp spot at Lake Arnold. A below freezing night made for a beautiful frosty morning. I attempted to get a shot of the fog wisping off the lake, but these things always look so much better in person.

3 Days in the Adirondacks
Mount Colden, Adirondacks High Peaks Region, NY

Day 2:

After one tough climb, 1.6 miles with over 2000ft of elevation gain, and what felt like vertical wet rock most of the way, we finally made it to the top of Mount Colden (with a view overlooking Lake Colden below). This was also the first place on our trek that we were able to get a cell signal and check-in on the kids. Thankfully all was well, and the worried mother @reneetougas was reassured that our kids first time at home alone was going without a hitch.
