The Adirondack Park has much to offer the backcountry enthusiast... sweeping mountain views, beautiful waterfalls, refreshing lakes, streams & ponds, alpine environments, exposed summits & slides, abundant wildlife, seclusion... It's a rather rugged yet incredibly beautiful area! Sounds of the wild will surround you. Reflections will astound you. Peacefulness will fill you.

  • Expect to return to the trailhead by 3 PM on the final day of the trip.

  • We have a variety of backpack trips to choose from. Leisurely backpack trips involve hiking 4-6 miles a day. Moderate trip distances cover 6-10 miles of hiking a day.
