Hiking in the Lake Placid Environs

This was a fun trip.

Silas Alben, Gwen Taylor, and I took a weekend in late August to do a little hiking and camping in the Adirondacks near Lake Placid.

We hiked Giant mountain on the first day. The weather was not that warm, but agreeable, and it didn't rain during the day.

That night, however, it did rain. We had two tents; the one that I was in alone stayed bone dry, the other that Gwen and Silas shared got pretty soaked. That put a damper on any plans to camp out the second night, but we did do the hiking that was on the docket for the day: Algonquin.
