Partial ADK Great Range traverse - help with trails?
Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 6:27 pm
I'm going to hike most of the ADK Great Range (Roostercomb, Hedgehog, L. Wolfjaw, U. Wolfjaw, Armstrong, Gothics, Saddleback, and finally Basin) tomorrow with a friend. I'm 18, he's 17. We're not that experienced (my only real hike was Mt. Washington a few weeks ago) so we need some advice, especially on which trails to take.
The Roostercomb Trailhead seems to be the most popular start for this trip, but where do I go after that? Are the trails clearly marked so once we summit Roostercomb we'll know where to go next? If anyone has ever done this before or knows about it, any advice on trail names would be awesome.
And, I'd like to know if this is even possible. We only have 12.4 hours of daylight, with about 22 miles of hiking. So, to any more experienced hiker out there, can it be done?
Thanks in advance
