- Continuing their journey to become Adirondack 46ers, the guys get together and hike Mount Colvin & Blake Peak in mid-October. The weather was perfect - even if it was a bit windy - and the views were amazing!!

Making our way to becoming ADK 46ers! I hope you enjoy this adventure!
Colvin was my 44th Blake my 45th and I did them with Sawteeth who was my 46th High Peak I've done 35 of them once 10 of them twice and then Redfield I've done 6 times
Nice video. Have fun and success
Thanks - you too!
Swamp boulders, lol!
LOL
Did anyone listen to James Applegate’s interview with Erik Schlimmer on the 46 of 46? They talk about trail building in New England. It was fascinating.
Definitely listened to that one - very informative!
“No I live here.” 😂
Thanks for the vid! I did Colvin & Blake earlier this year, and agree with all of your assessments (i.e., Colvin good, Blake not so much). According to one of the ADK Facebook pages I believe someone took the little "Blake" stone off the summit. He felt it violated the Leave No Trace philosophy. Personally I think that's a bit of a jerk move because, as you suggest, the Blake summit isn't exactly easily identifiable. Hope to see you guys on the trail someday!
I agree with LNT principles, however if we were being strict about them, them all trail signs and markers should be removed as well. I get disappointed when people follow the guidelines like they are laws written in stone, instead of realizing the intent behind them. It's kind of a bummer, but I also don't like seeing trash and poop when I'm on an adventure either, so it's very tough balancing act.
Thanks for watching!
Why has John hiked all the worse mountains first?
LOL Unfortunately for him, he didnt get started until recently, and since Mark and I left a lot of the less desirable ADK High Peaks for last, John gets a little screwed ;)
"Swampy, over boulders and vertical" I agree with Dan completely and why I prefer not to try climbing the peaks. Love watching you guys though!
Hehe ... thanks!
Im new to your channel and love the content. Me and my wife want to complete the adk 46 soon
Welcome to the community! If you have any questions while you're working on your goal, just let us know!
Lol ... I was too far ahead of you slowpokes to hear the French for camping comment .... I loled
Mark said that and I almost died. Comedy Gold.
It was so out of the blue and perfectly hilarious!
Thanks for your channel. I avoid the high peaks region due to “congestion” of hikers.
The High Peaks are beautiful, and there are some truly remote and quiet places throughout the area still, but Rt73 is not where you'll find that these days.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks to the current events, it’s getting harder to even go to my remote hikes without an influx of “new hikers” which is great. Eventually I am going after one of your hikes. But I want to do a complete thru of the NPT but southbound.
Ooooh awesome! Good luck, and please reach out if you have any questions!
I don’t recall a ladder on the top of Colvin...I recall barely being able to pull myself up lol. But it was 5 years ago. I think I will finish my winter round on Blake. I wonder if anyone has done that. I mean it’s pretty much worse than Cooch...lol
The little ladder near the top of Colvin seemed pretty new, and I didn't have an issue with that one, but the much older, partially rotten, icy, big ones on the other side of the mountain sketched me out pretty good ...
Finishing on Blake - yuck ... in the winter - double yuck ;)
I can’t seem to edit my response. Hopefully you can read autocorrect
Looks like your comment disappeared into the ether -- I don't see anything other than your original one, and this note about autocorrect .... maybe it was eaten by a mysterious backwoods creature ;)

Hello my friend Always great to catch a new video from you . you guys are awesome . Thanks for sharing We too love being out in Nature. Stay blessed my friend Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
Thank you! You too!
Nice job, Colvin’s view is amazing. Blake and Colvin are near and dear to me. We hit those before Dial and Nippletop to finish my 46er. Keep plugging away, you are almost there. Any winter 46ers planned?
Colvin was awesome - definitely will be doing that again! Not really sure about the High Peaks in the winter ... I'll likely do some of them, but I really enjoy snowshoeing out to a leanto and hanging out overlooking a frozen pond/lake in the winter time. Who knows, though ... I could always get the fever. I know Dan is interested ;)
@@JayMorrisonOutdoors Doooooo it.
Love your channel. Really great content and always takes me to a gorgeous part of the country. Hike on, brother 👍
Thanks man, that's very kind of you to say!
@@JayMorrisonOutdoors Happy to encourage content that means something to me. When I make it to NY from MI one day you can help me hike my butt up one of those mountains lol.
Sounds like a plan!
Waahhh whooo!!! I love your high peak Vlogs.
Thanks!
colvin was actually my first 46er at 9 years old... i finished on colden 4 years later.. what an incredible journey and i’m so glad to have found your channel!
p.s. i did some trail work with ATIS on the gill brook trail / indian head - it is indeed very pretty
That's awesome! Thanks for being a part of the community!
That's nuts you drive to the trail head so early and yet there is no place to park. Dan is an animal! I can't imagine how many times he will earn his 46r in his life time. It is great to have friends like this. No matter how many times he has done it, he is willing to do it again. I hope you guys show John the same love!
Yea, parking has gotten a bit nutty through the Rt73 corridor over the last few years. Next year we are looking at going up mid-week for the ones we have left just to avoid the frenzy.
And yea, Dan is an animal AND a good friend ... we wonder why he hangs out with us ;) But we're definitely going to be helping John get his if/when he wants it. In fact, when we go back out to get Seward and Seymour, we're going to hit Donaldson and Emmons again just for him!
All I need is an excuse to be in the woods, I don't honestly even care where. I'd do them all again.
Glad to see your son made it out with you all. That little ladder going up Colvin was not there when I did it. Although a small summit, Colvin was one of my favorite because of the views. I'd rather do Allen again than Blake. I'd love to hit Fish Hawk Cliffs and Indian Head with you if you're open to it.
Sounds like an excellent plan -- I'll keep you in the loop!
