With high accessibility from major upstate population centers this proposed route validates that there is almost entirely untapped potential for #bikepacking in the #Adirondacks. It also begs the question? Why isn't there more established bikepacking in the Adirondacks?

What's on the agenda for 2026? How about filling in the Adirondack bikepacking map?

Hiking, backpacking, bikepacking, paddling and climbing in New York's Adirondacks, Catskills, Vermont, New Hampshire, the greater Northeast and beyond

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.

In the mood for random Adirondacks NY Lake George boat cruise prettiness... 😊

@dcz Similar setup in summer conditions (very warm actually, so water was the heaviest thing, food next) for an overnight wilderness trip. No frame bag but still needed 40L to fit everything for my dog and I. Bike was fairly light minus the water. I'd guess 7kg total gear with food and water.

Last night we saw:
-1 northern spring salamander
-3 four-toed salamanders
-a couple bull frogs
-a few green frogs
-dozens of spotted salamanders
-lots of wood frogs
-so many spring peepers (one shown in image)

I also didn't realize (or forgot) spring salamanders can stay in a larval stage with external gills for 4 years, so that was a confusing find.

This is an autumn setup. Lowest temps we saw this trip were -10C but daytime highs were around 10C so fairly cool. Definitely packed light actually for 3 days in the wilderness for two. But that's probably 10kg (I never weight it, I don't really care and stressing over it won't make it lighter).

Good morning! There are still many trees down after last weekend's wild wind storm. It's like a jungle gym at a local wildlife area. #adirondacks #photography #weather
