The tip of the tongue: a counter clock-wise approach
[ Hike ]
Sat, Sep 6, 2025, 7:00 am, Rating: A+
Leader: Jen Ferriss 000-000-0000
- I did this hike in 2022 and enjoyed hiking the southern part of the range from a counter-clockwise approach. We will meet at the Clay Meadow trailhead on Route 9N at 7 am and hike to Montcalm Point along the Northwest Bay. After enjoying the tip of the tongue, we will head up the range to Fifth Peak and back down to the cars. Hopefully our "nope stick" friends are starting to hunker down for the change of seasons. The total distance is around 13.25 miles with elevation gain around 4,000 feet. This is a challenging hike. Space is limited. Of course we will have ice cream afterwards! Rain date is Sunday Sept 7th.

- A 6-mile round trip featuring a scenic wooded trail that follows Mossy Cascade Brook. The views from the top are stunning, showcasing the high peaks. With an elevation gain of approximately 2,100 feet, this hike is considered moderately challenging. Parking is slightly limited, and I also might turn this into a loop hike (Ranney trail descent) if more than two cars are available with another car at the Rooster Comb parking. Meetup for carpool will be at Warrens County Municipal Center @8am, departing at 8:15ish. Please email me if you plan to attend.

Elk Lake-Marcy trail to Panther Gorge, Haystack, Marcy and Skylight [2 nights, 3 days]
[ Camp/Hike ]
Fri, Sep 26, 2025, time TBD, Rating: A++
Leader: Jeff Mans 518-265-4135
- Two night backpacking trip. Starting Friday morning, September 26th, from the Elk Lake parking area, we'll hike the Elk Lake-Marcy trail to Panther Gorge to set up camp for 2 nights, and return Sunday morning, September 28th. Day 1: about 9 miles to Panther Gorge and set-up camp. Day 2: loop hike of about 8 miles to Haystack, Marcy and Skylight. Day 3: break camp and return to Elk Lake parking area and civilization. Day 2 will be the loop hike to Haystack, Marcy, Lake Tear of the Clouds and Skylight, and involves some very steep trails, open rock and ledges, and several thousand feet of climbing and descent. And no, we will not be climbing Gray. The trip requires appropriate tent, overnight equipment, meals and supplies, including a bear-resistant canister. Traditional rocks for Skylight's summit encouraged, but not required. Panther and alien encounters unlikely, and not to be believed in any event. A good book helps at night. Bad weather cancels. On Friday morning we'll meet at the Schroon Lake Tops parking lot at 8:30 AM, and carpool to the Elk Lake Marcy trailhead parking lot since parking there can be scarce.

Leader: Wayne Richter 518-893-7895
- July's weekday high peaks hike went well, with no problems getting into the AMR lot, so here is the second one. I've listed the hike for Tuesday, but I will change the day to Wednesday or even Thursday if the weather looks better, with a decision to be made on Sunday or Monday before. Weekdays give us the chance to hike from The Garden or the Ausable Mountain Reserve parking lot. Where we go will depend on mountain conditions, which can be very variable in October, and I'm open to suggestions for where to hike. Email me if you might want to come along. Meet at the park and ride at the north end of Media Drive near Northway Exit 18 or at the trailhead. Meeting time will be early, but will depend on the day's hike.
