Two years ago, we had a great plan to hike the Basin and Saddleback peaks, in the Adirondacks. We were eager and full of energy to do it, the weather was perfect, but one thing happened. We met a bear, I mean literally the bear encountered us…

The Adirondack Mountains is the biggest park in the continental 48th. Unfortunately, it's not the National Park, but it's definitely worth visiting especially, when you love hikes. It's only a 5h drive from New York. The mountains are challenging, and there are a lot of peaks to hike. There is even a club called 46'er. The members of this club are people who summit the highest 46 peaks. We already did 22 peaks. It was a high time to add something more to the list…

North Cascades National Park is a part of the Cascade Range. The Cascades is a mountain range that goes from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. The north part is non-volcanic mountains when the High Cascades (south part) are volcanic mountains. The mountains in this park are the steepest and wildest in the lower 48 states…

Adirondacks State Park is our favorite park on the East Coast. Did you know that this park is 6 acres, and is as huge as Death Valley, The Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Parks all together. The park has a lot to offer, but we love the High Peak region with great mountains…

We had a craving for a hike like this. Everybody knows that we love hikes, but somehow it has already been three months since our last long hike. We really were in need of a hike to relax and refresh our minds. So, we knew that hiking was not an option, but an obligation. It's not possible not to go for a hike in 3 months.... we didn't understand how this could be. We chose Adirondack Mountains mainly because they always have some surprise for us, and there are no easy trails. Let's see how they surprise us this time.
