ADK 46ers list Not easy by any measure, but absolutely worth it. I took this pic from Marcy's summit a few weeks ago.

Knocked off the Dials, Nippletop, and Phelps over 4th of July weekend. I wish I had started this earlier in life, that was 12, 13, 14 ... and I'm 50. They aren't getting any easier. 
We were actually going to do Giant and Rocky Peak Ridge as well, but the GF was wiped out. |

So now that I'm up here with the fam, I'm glad to see the super-Wally World
Has guns on the rack just like the down state walmarts from the yesteryear *sigh* Are there any other LGSs worth checking out? And aside from ft. Ticonderoga & ft. Mchenry William Henery are there other worthwhile sites? (Going out on the Minnie ha ha tomorrow)

The ADK museum is worth seeing but I would love to see Ft William Henry, from "the last of the Mohicans" fame
Let me know if much of the fort still stands and if it is worth seeing

The fort has been reconstructed and it's worth the trip. Fort Ticonderoga is nearby as well. A ton of history there!

Bloody Pond and the site of part of the Battle of Lake George. Saratoga Battlefield is not far away either. |

Eta: cause derp Update: Fort Ticonderoga was very cool! complete with re-enactors and activities for the kids (gift shop & café) I highly recommend seeing it, you need a whole day to see the whole thing military discount too! Fort William henry was in good repair (but we didn't go in too many other things on the list) Minnie Ha Ha was very cool too, kids loved it. its a real steam powered lake ship the Adirondack Museum was excellent, we only allotted four hours for it, which is way not enough. should be a whole day. we saw only 25% of the exhibits also military discount(free). ton of stuff we wanted to do but didn't get to it, might have to go back next year

...typical upstate NY prices. Is that good or bad? Usually a little more then can be found in larger population centers, but that is to be expected. Same thing goes for gas prices etc. I would say that there prices are the best in the area, but as the norm, your local gun store can't compete with big box store prices. |

Camping is prohibited at elevations above 4,000 feet at that time of year, and that pretty much strikes the 46ers off your list. But there are lots of other mountains that offer good views and good camping. Tongue Mountain Range has a couple lean-tos along the ridge and Pharaoh Mountain has a nice summit with great views and room to camp. I'll be up there that weekend too I think. If you are set on doing a 46er, Giant Mountain has awesome views. It does snow up that at that time of year, lol. I think it was last fall when we had a foot of snow near our cabin in Wilmington in September. |

We flew right up sleeping beauty in less than an hour, packs, tents and the dog lol. Thanks for the suggestions, maybe we'll get a beer if we're in town the same time.

Both parking lots will be filled and cars parked along Shelving Rock Rd. Best bet would be to show up early in the morning and hike in. Two way traffic gets pretty hairy when driving out from Dacey Clearing when it's busy. |
