For those who are not ready for strenuous trips, it is best to start off with easy hikes and work your way up. Raingear is also recommended for all hikes. Don't trust the forecast or what the sky looks like as you set out. Polyester blends, wool or polarguard are better because they will still keep you comfortable when wet. Adirondack weather can and does change suddenly.
Special Winter Needs Bring trail food on ALL hikes.
Read the trip description carefully for other needs. Don't forget to wear woolens. It is smart to bring an extra hat, mittens and socks. Winter weather can and does change suddenly.
