Sleeping Beauty Mtn Hike - Snow! April 18th!!!!


Lake George, NY area people know that a hike up to the 2200 foot summit of Sleeping Beauty Mountain on the eastern shore rewards them with a wonderful view of Lake George and its islands. On a drizzly, rainy day today I hiked up the mountain for a workout and the view. Little did I know that I would run into a snow squall about 100 feet down from the summit. It's April 18th, and SNOW! Hope it's the last I see until November.

Pilot Knob Ridge trails


Here's a pic of Lake George from the gazebo on top of Pilot Knob Ridge taken a couple of days ago. It's a 600 foot climb over .6 miles to the top, but the view is worth it.

It's Hike #12 in our Lake George hiking book. Now available at all of the regional EMS stores.

Get out and enjoy spring in the North Country!

Coltsfoot is up



No, they are NOT dandelions!
Co-author of our NNY wildflower books Diane Collins has advised that the flower, Coltsfoot, is now blooming in this early spring. So get our spring wildflower guide and go out and enjoy all of those great spring flowers. You need the exercise after your winter hibernation anyway!
