From the Trails: Completed High Peaks
Cairns: The Trail Markers of the Adirondacks
Cairns are essential trail markers in the Adirondack High Peaks, guiding hikers through exposed alpine zones where trails can be hard to follow.
These stacked piles of stones have been used for centuries worldwide - from Scotland and Scandinavia to the Arctic, where Inuit built inuksuit - as navigation aids.
Hiking the Adirondacks: The 46ers Challenge
The Adirondacks are a vast, rugged wilderness in upstate New York with over 2,000 miles of hiking trails and 100+ peaks. The 46er Challenge invites hikers to summit the region’s 46 High Peaks, totaling up to 250 miles and 70,000 feet of elevation gain.
From the Himalayas to the High Peaks
Last year I hiked to Everest Base Camp. Now I’ve challenged myself to climb all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks – one summit at a time.
