Unfortunately my life as a new dad has severely limited my hiking time, but I was fortunate to get out to do a short hike to a killer view in the southern Adirondacks on a real nice early spring morning. Parked in an unmarked pull off on Dunkley Road, a rough dirt road just north of Route 9N in Lake Luzerne(Elevation 750 feet). From there I picked up a wide horse trail/ snowmobile trail that climbs north.
Only a few patches of snow remain from an area that was hammered by a couple of recent, spring snowstorms.
The trail is obvious and easy to follow as it climbs up towards the wooded summit of the unnamed peak, before dropping down, skirting private property and leading to a great view.
View SW towards Mount Anothony with the wetland just east of Fourth Lake below.
After enjoying the views for a bit, I turned around and retraced my steps back down to the car for a nice and easy 1.4 miles RT and 400 feet of climbing.
