Hadlow: It was interesting to find trails with links to ADK history for the centennial celebration of the organization this year. Mt. Gilligan stands in the shadows of the High Peaks but is a terrific hike with splendid views. The trail was created by the Boquet River Lodge chapter - now the Schenectady chapter - the fifth chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club's 28 chapters. For those with a keen eye, a few of the original metal ADK trail markers may be found along this trail
