Debar Mountain
August 12th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Adirondack Life
“Debar Mountain, a savage looking peak…”
Eh, it’s really not that savage, rather nice actually. We had never done this climb and thought it would make an easy weekend overnight trip. I don’t really like to do the High Peaks during Summer because I have a slight allergy to people when I head into the woods. This one is off the beaten path and definitely sees less traffic. Probably, the day-use fee also deters folks as most of the people we saw were staying in the campground.
From the Meacham Lake Campground trailhead, it is 3.7 miles to the summit. Just before the really steep final ascent, there is a rather worn Lean-to where we spent the night.

This place is SO COOL! You can’t fake those smiles.
(Note: Can’t you just imagine yourself here?!)
Compare with the “Lake George” experience as highlighted on The Today Show. (Fake Flyfishing…)

Our Great National Playground
May 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Adirondack Life
Memorial Weekend is the traditional beginning of our Summer travel season here in the Adirondacks.
It’s not like we will be overrun, but most popular trailheads will be packed.
Plan ahead, check the Current Conditions, and consider hiking trails outside the High Peaks Area. Stay Safe – maybe I’ll see ya out there!
