how is it for winter hiking? do we need ropes to lower packs or scramble.
Campfires are allowed in the Dix Wilderness region in the Adirondacks. They are not allowed; however, in the Eastern High Peaks Region of the park which is where majority of the 46ers are located.
I remembered that campfire was not allowed? is this still true?
Regarding the Mt Marcy loop hike starting at the Garden that proceeds over Saddleback & Basin Mts.I did this last year from the Slant Rock lean to w/o a heavy pack and found the last 200 feet of both MTS quite technical.Saddleback is the most technical of all peaks in the High Peaks region acording to locals.To do this with a heavy pack from the direction of the Garden would be very difficult as you would have to lower yourself to footholds you cant see.Best to to these Mtns from the direction of Slant Rock as a day pack hike!! The trail guides agree with me!!
Noonmark Diner is the best!
