Today Lauren and I hiked to the summit of Giant Mountain, the 12th highest peak in NY state. The day was perfect, with great visibility, and a warm sun, we couldn't ask for much more. The slides on Giant don't have enough snow to board down due to our recent January Thaw which had me a bit depressed, but the view from the top put me in a much better mood. This only #4 on my list of 46ers completed, and I'm going to try and bag a new one every other week from here until I leave the Adirondacks.
The views here can't be matched in the east, and goes to show that a little land preservation goes along way.
Until next time, Enjoy the winter.

Chip, I agree that the views are magnificent and prestine. It only makes me long for the woods and mts. I guess I'll have to live vicariously through your blog though, because I am bound to restraint of a metropolis. Though I am wondering what the elevation is at where you were? How deep was the snow? How long did it take to ascend to the summit? I would have thought that you recently recieved some good snow. Have fun and keep the pics coming.
