trekking (My Marcy) 11:50:00 [3]
Michelle Patty Meg and I decided to plan a trip to Lake Placid months ago and enjoy a girls weekend away
Dee gave me the maps so we reviewed in advance and thought we would start hike from Adirondik lodge and take Heidelberg trail but after arriving In Keene at Keene Valley lodge we saw signs for another route right behind our accommodations.
The summit via the Johns Brook Trail from the Garden parking north of the mountain in Keene Valley is an 18-mile (28.8 km) round trip, which made sense to us especially with an early start planned.
The trek looked a little more difficult than the originally planned trek from Adirondack lodge but we decided to avoid drive and take trail in our backyard.
We started from Garden Parking lot and realized I had left map in lodge so we're prepared to go back and get but Meg was able to get one from a kind man starting out on trail.
We trekked to John Brook lodge and were told the best route would be to stay on the yellow trail then head left on red trail ( where falls were) up to the summit and if we wanted a loop best option would be to go North on Heidelberg trail then follow yellow trail back. Unfortunately we past the red trail intersection and took the yellow straight up which was quite steep in sections, technical and definitely longer than other option which made for a longer ascent. Alot of the trail felt like we were climbing a riverbed which made me question if we had missed a turn more than a couple of times but I soon learned this was the terrain.
The top was beautiful and we were lucky with the weather that we had great views and it really was the perfect weather and no bugs!!!
Our decent was quicker coming down as we ventured down the red trail that we had planned to come up on and it was definitely a better choice.
A few times we were not as far as I thought we were on map and almost took a few wrong turns but safely made it back to John brick lodge then on to Garden parking lot.
We all had different paces at different times during the hike but we had some good laughs great training and an awesome weekend
Highly recommend !!!
