| My family, Bob Kaminsky's family, and my best friend J. McNamara left Camp Topridge, our friends Harlan and Kathy Crow's summer home, at around 10:00 AM. We took the Crow's private trail for about a mile, and then met up on the main trail, where many people were hiking. We kept hiking for approximately 45 minutes, pausing every once in a while to admire the huge boulders and the amazing amount of lush vegetation. We reached the summit at approximately 11:00 AM, and were struck speechless by the absolutely amazing view. You could see Camp Topridge barely, along Upper Saint Regis Lake, as well as Upper and Lower Saranac Lake, Spitfire Lake, and countless others. We sat up there for about 30 minutes, admiring the view, and then returned to the trail to climb down. We returned to Topridge at 12:00 PM. |
