"We opted to do a much less invovled weekend, basically just a bike camping trip vs a bikepacking trip. Sleeping outside, having a campfire, and just being away from the world is good enough sometimes."

Gravel road perfection. The groads of Rensselaer County NY are phenomenal. Mostly low traffic class 1 gravel through rural areas dotted with farms. The terrain isn't too steep but you will get some short 20% climbs. It's punchy to say the least.

@samluyk the route is done on paper (well screen). Absolute worst case it's more road/pavement than I prefer but even then it's 50-60% off pavement. Best case it's 50% on trails and 85% off pavement. It begs the question, why isn't there more #bikepacking activity in the #Adirondacks beyond cycling being sort of frowned upon in the forest preserve.
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

Another alternate take:

From Balm of Gilead Brook in the #Adirondacks. I find that freezing the water at 1/250th highlights its movement captured in time, where six seconds turns it into a smooth silk highlighting the hardness of the rocks.
