Now a 46er

[backpacker]

Thank you Mark,
Yes there is a lot of waterfalls in the Adirondack Park, I have pictures of some and there are many I want to go to or go back to and get some good shots. When I was working on the 46 peaks we didn’t stop long for pictures in fact I was always in the back so I could take pictures and then catch up with my partner(s). I will be working on an Adirondack page with a slide show; hopefully I can start it this week. There are a lot of state camp sites within the park but not many in the High Peaks area. But not far from most trail heads are Lean-to’s and tenting area, with no showers or flushers of course.

Congratulation on climbing Mt. Chorocua, even the mountains with treed summits has a view at some point, I do remember a few mountains where we could see nothing due to the snow or fog, but that still made it interesting. 8 miles is a good hike with kids, when we were doing multiple peaks it was nothing to hike 14 plus miles, but I’d say 8-10 miles would be the average trip distance.

There are two falls I really want to photograph, Hanging Spear and a set of 4 falls on the West Branch of the Sacandaga River outside of Whitehouse. Both have miles to cover but the reward should be great.

The peak of Mt Chorocua in New Hampshire is actually a few hundred feet above the treeline. The Brook Trail from the Ossippee side features dozens of small waterfalls; the parallel Liberty trail is not quite as scenic but is significantly less traveled if you prefer solitude. The Champney Falls trail from the Kangamagus side is the prefered route for waterfall seekers, and the climate is cooler due to being on the north face.

I'll look forward to your future posts, Jim.

What's a bigger accomplishment than climbing the 46 high peaks?
Having a page on NYFalls.com honoring you for it:
