Hiking in New York
By Mike Jones on
Most of you have probaby experienced various hiking trips in your local area. The first time I went hiking in the Adirondack Wilderness was an unforgettable experience. I reached the peaks of the three highest mountains (the highest being around 5450 feet), not to exclude all the others I conquered. Most of the trails began with a long irritating walk through the woods, on puddles of mud and on wet rocks. As you ascend, however, the woods slowly dissapear and the nice chilly wind blows on you,. The amount of flat rocks increases, but the most unforgettable part of the whole hike is without a doubt standing at the top of your newly conquered peak, grabbing a bit to eat and drink and enjoying the marvelous view. Nearly all of the mountains in New York follow that same pattern (all that I reached did), and each hiking experience leaves you with everlasting memories of the hard work and effort taken to reach peaks of the Adirondack mountains.
