Conquering Cascade and Porter: Two Adirondack High Peaks in one day

It’s been a while since I drove through the Adirondacks in New York. In fact, I decided it had been too long, and asked my friend if I could crash on her couch in Lake Placid for a weekend.

We decided to conquer Cascade Mountain early Saturday morning. Join me on this journey, won’t you?

Hiking my first Adirondack Fire Tower trail

I set a goal for myself this year. In 2021, I will complete the Adirondack Fire Tower Challenge.

It’s a lofty goal, involving investing in some gear, putting some time aside, and making the journey out to the Adirondack region every so often.

Last week, I decided to go and get started. First stop: Bald Mountain.
