  • Final orders are due by August 7th to ensure that everyone receives their T-shirt prior to their September hike (please note that you do not need to purchase a t-shirt in order to participate in the hike). All proceeds go directly towards the price of the shirt. Anything left over goes straight into our AFSP fundraising campaign found at the link below. Be sure to leave a comment in the checkout page as to which mountain you plan on hiking in the Adirondacks this fall and we look forward to seeing all of the pictures from those first two weekends of September!

     

    Per ADK High Peak Region guidelines, please be sure to have no more than 15 hikers present in a group on any trail at the same time. Split up in smaller groups and feel free to reunite at the top for a picture before staggering back down!

     

    Most importantly, please also review the following guidelines of 'Leave No Trace' to ensure that we are abiding by all rules and regulations of the ADK as this place is near and dear to our hearts and we want to make sure that we are protecting it at all costs :)

     

    1. Plan Ahead & Prepare

    • Know the regulations and special considerations for the area you’ll be visiting.
    • Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies.
    • Always leave your itinerary with someone at home.
    • Travel in small groups to minimize impacts.

     

    2. Travel & Camp on Durable Surfaces

    • Hike in the middle of the trail; walk through (not around) puddles/mud.
    • Stay off of vegetation; walk on rocks where possible.
    • Camp in designated sites where possible.
    • In other areas, don’t camp within 150 feet of water, trail, or a road.

     

    3. Dispose of Waste Properly

    • Pack out all trash (including toilet paper), leftover food, and litter.
    • Use existing privies or dig a 6–8 inch deep cathole at least 150 feet from water.
    • Wash yourself and your dishes at least 150 feet from water.
    • If needed, use only small amounts of biodegradable soap.

     

    4. Leave What You Find

    • Leave rocks, plants, and other natural objects as you find them.
    • Let photos, drawings, or journals help capture your memories.
    • Do not build structures or furniture or dig trenches.

     

    5. Respect Wildlife

    • Observe wildlife from a distance.
    • Avoid wildlife during mating, nesting, and other sensitive times.
    • Control your pets at all times and clean up after them.

     

    6. Be Considerate of Others

    • Respect others and protect the quality of their experience.
    • Let natural sounds prevail; avoid loud sounds and voices.
    • Be courteous and yield to other users; take breaks to one side of the trail.

     

    With Love and Gratitude,
