An evergreen trail guide describing Mount Van Hoevenberg as a well-maintained, accessible short hike near Lake Placid suitable for beginners and families, with open ledges providing views of the High Peaks.
A mostly easy-to-navigate route featuring Wright, Algonquin, and Iroquois peaks in the MacIntyre Range. The trail follows MacIntyre Brook initially, includes some technical scrambling and steep slab climbing, and offers exceptional views from the three summits. Wright Peak is noted as particularly windy and requires relentless steep slab climbing from the junction.</summary>

First-person account of climbing Henderson Mountain via the southwest ridge and descending via direct drainage to Santanoni lean-to. The ascent was slow through dense trees with scattered blowdown, while the descent via drainage was quick and open. The report notes bushwhacking challenges and a subsequent loop to Duck Hole and Preston Ponds with excellent fall weather.

A two-day backpacking trip over Santanoni, Couchsachraga, and Panther in the ADK, with muddy and wet conditions throughout. The Santanoni Brook trail featured slippery rocks and rotting log infrastructure; the Couchsachraga bog proved manageable with good log placement, and the descent of Panther Brook was challenging via water and boulders.

On March 5, conditions on the Santanoni Range ridge connecting Santanoni to Panther were extremely difficult with rotten snow, spruce traps up to chin height, and poor visibility of the path. The reporter attempted Santanoni, Panther, and Couchsachraga but turned back partway through due to time constraints and dangerous postholing conditions, ultimately bagging only Santanoni.
