Hadlow: Bobby and I sought out lesser traveled trails in an effort to potentially spread foot traffic throughout the expansive Adirondack Park rather than having it be concentrated in a particular area. With that goal in mind, we looked at maps and other guidebooks to try to fill in gaps, so to speak. We were also considerate of parking availability and access to trailheads, how well the trail was marked and deliberately omitted High Peaks of the Adirondacks - focusing on other terrific hikes within the High Peaks region.
