** Adirondack Hiking Winter Update ** |
|
Saturday, 08 November 2008 |
The joys of late Fall and early Winter hiking are upon us... Reduced amonts of bugs, our friendly bears now heading off to hibernate, and the addition of snow under foot can make hiking on the rough rocky trails much more pleasant. Dress appropriately and always bring extra layers. Start early, and plan to finish early - espcially with Daylight Savings Time - the days are getting very short. Check the weather forecast and trail conditions more regularly before going out on a hike. Happy Hiking!
Snow and Wintry Conditions: The High Peaks and
surrounding areas recently received 8 inches or more of snow, snow
cover in higher elevations is even deeper. The use of snowshoes or
skis is required in the High Peaks Wilderness and encouraged elsewhere
to prevent "post-holing," avoid injuries, and ease travel on snow.
Shorter Days: Remember the sun sets earlier this time of year. So plan trips accordingly and carry a flashlight with fresh batteries.
Bear Resistant Canisters: The use of
bear-resistant canisters is still required for overnight users in the Eastern
High Peaks Wilderness until November 30. All food,
toiletries and garbage must be stored in bear resistant canisters.
