North Country explorer from Goldens Bridge, New York
As per St. Lawrence University Outing Club tradition, this weekend was Peak Weekend! The goal is to get a small group of SLU students on all 46 high peaks and outside in one weekend! I hiked the Seward range near Tupper Lake this weekend, a hike over 20 miles that covers four high peaks! Trying to hike all 46 high peaks (4000ft+ in elevation) is a great way to get outside and see the adirondacks, this trip put me just over half way at 24/46!!! Plus, our group was full of science majors (geology, conservation biology, environmental studies) so of course we played the native species game while we hiked and identified some of the common trees and plants in the adirondacks including, yellow and paper birch, red maple, striped maple, balsam fir, wild sorrel, and more!
