Hurricane Mountain

Went camping and hiking in Adirondack National Forest, NY in Winter 04 and Spring 05.

Hurricane Mountain

Climbed up Hurricane Mountain late in the evening to catch the sunset on a (very) cold winter night.  The trail was very steep and icy, and pretty much goes straight up the side of the mountain.   It was well worth the climb, as you can see from the images I took with a cheap point-and-shoot camera.  I highly recommend this hike.  I actually liked the view from Hurricane Mountain better than the view from Algonquin Mountain, and it is much less effort to reach the top.
