Whiteface and Esther Mountain

Whiteface and Esther Mountain

Though I've skied it probably over 100 times, I've finally for the first time hiked Whiteface and was able to knock out two 46ers on the hike by hitting Esther Mountain as well. Another high peaks hike in the book, and of course, another beautiful set of memories.

Big Slide Mountain

Big Slide Mountain

Keene Valley in the Adirondacks is home to the greatest number of high peaks in a given region, including my most recent hike of Big Slide Mountain. Big Slide is number 27 on the list of the 46 high peaks, and overall, it was a tough but rewarding hike.
