Scott Stevens

Scott Stevens grew up in Lake Luzerne, and spent much of his childhood in the outdoors, hiking, camping and fishing. After spending four years at SUNY Oswego in Central New York, he couldn't wait to get back to the Adirondack Mountains! Currently living in Hudson Falls, a day in the woods is only a short drive away, and is always enticing at the end of the work week.

Scott began his quest to climb all 46 of the Adirondack high-peaks last summer, and will continue climbing this summer, and future summers, until he reaches this goal. He also truly enjoys trout fishing, and with the countless rivers, streams and ponds in the Adirondacks, who doesn't?

Read his blog as he explores the Adirondack Mountains on day hikes, over-night outings, and fishing trips this summer. He vows to keep you in the loop as he updates his gear, plans his trips, and hits the woods! Please, feel free to comment and share posts - as he does have some experience, there is always more to learn!

Have you ever hiked in the rain? I wouldn't make a point of finding a rainy day to go hiking - but from now on, if I am planning a hike and it starts to rain, I'm going anyway! I hiked up Sleeping Beauty (between Lake George and South Bay) a few days ago in the rain, and I saw things that I have never seen in the woods before. Even if you only do it once, you should definitely take a hike in the rain and experience the things that you won't find on a bright sunny day.

What an awesome Columbus Day weekend I had up in the Adirondacks! I could not have asked for better weather for an overnight trip hiking two mountains, camping out, and exploring a cave.

I am taking a Hiking & Orienteering course at SUNY Adirondack to fill a Physical Education requirement, and we headed north for an overnight trip this past weekend, and had a great time. The weather was beautiful - a little chilly at night, but with proper planning and packing, I was able to stay comfortable.
