Riding the Adirondacks



The top is awesome with a beautiful round stone observatory and you’re free to walk anywhere you want around the summit as well. I hit the jackpot with the view as it had 80 miles of visibility which I was told is rare. Normally one can expect 40 miles. It was only 43 degrees at the top but I was dressed for it with a t-shirt and two sweatshirts under my mesh jacket. I was also amazed how one is free to jump off if they choose to do so. These days you would expect this place to either be fenced in or closed. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to fall off. There were also hiking trails to the top and seeing people emerging from the trail made me feel pretty soft since I rode to the top. If you’re near this mountain on a clear day, don’t leave without seeing the top. After I took in as much as I could it was time for the elevator ride down. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

See what I mean about jumping off?
