Spectacle pond trailhead is just down the road, a little longer approach but another good one. With views of the southside of Pharaoh mountain.

@@toddparis809 it was a tossup between gull and spectacle, the recent snow and heavier packs were why we made the call for Gull. I will absolutely be checking out Spectacle though!

Thank you so much! Pungo is doing great, hopefully by March he can get out with me. In the meantime I'm working on Cassi's training, and I want to get her out on some easier trails. She is a RIOT, I can't wait until she's ready for extended trips 😂

Oh thank you, Mark! :)

Yep! I want to use it a lot more this year, sick of the canisters lol

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 as you know I love mine...

@@mrgjoe they are awesome. As long as you get enough wood together before you start lol, hungry little beast! 😂 I think splitting some larger branches is best if you want to actually cook with it. Twigs work for a quick boil.

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 I agree it is a hungry stove. I love how sturdy it is and how large the opening is to feed it.

Thanks for subscribing, I subbed to your channel as well, looking forward to seeing your adventures!

It really is. One of the hardest routes I've hiked, but still a favorite. Worth all of the difficulty ❤

It's a beautiful spot and I'd love to get to the lean to off the flow. Buggiest place I've EVER camped haha! Keeps the riffraff away!

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 keeping the riff riff away is a good thing...

Thanks for watching! :) Long Pond is a definite favorite of mine.

Yes it was so beautiful when the mountains reflected in the water!! Still special there, but never the same. That hike is definitely a favorite, hard as it is! Worth it! :)

It isn't far if you are able to park in the lot. 100 or 200 feet tops. Get there early, it's a small lot. You can drop your stuff off then go back and park on the road if the lot is full I think, they're cracking down on that in some areas but I think it's still doable there. The ADK are seeing a ton more use everywhere this year with so much stuff closed. If you can, start early on a weekday for the best chance at finding an open campsite. Bring wheels for the carry around the upper dam and it'll be easy. Don't skip the hike to the ridge, it starts there at the upper dam and the views are incredible! It's been a tough year on our beautiful park so I'll only add to please pack out all you pack in, follow Leave No Trace principles. Have a blast! :) -Amy

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 Thanks for the info.we always carry out what we carry in besides it's lighter then.We would come during the week also.

@@MrEveready299 awesome!! Have a great trip, it's definitely a favorite area for us!

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that! Would love to hear how your trip went! :)

Definitely doing that this year!

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 Let me know when you plan o doing it. If you want company and it works out I'll paddle with you.

Oh, thank you!! I have been tempted to bring the Coleman a few times and I probably should for real cooking! I had my pocket rocket as backup (and for FAST morning coffee hahaa!) just really wanted to cook on the fire as I had some neat campfire stuff to try :) Thank you for watching!

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 You bet. Always love padding videos and ready for my season in Colorado!

Long Pond is a lovely introduction to it, with several pond hopping options from there and Long Pond Mountain is an amazing hike, right up your alley! Thanks for watching!

Me toooooooo! I keep seeing thoughts that the Canadian border may be closed until July or later so....fingers crossed but I'm planning ADK trips for now, and I just might make the Big One, closer to home this year. It'll be nice to spend more time in the Adirondacks anyhow, it's never enough!

Whitney loop?

I do love that boat!! Couldn't believe my luck with weather and foliage color that day. Never expected it to be so bright!

@@itsmorefunoutdoors4603 perfect day...

A gorgeous Adirondack day!

Thanks, I'll save some color for your trip up here!

Thanks Gary! I like the numbered spots, to keep things limited.

Thank you for watching! :) -Amy

Hi Ben, I got curious about this too. I found that the Falls are on "The Branch" which eventually meets up with the Schroon River.

Ron Woodard thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it! I'll admit, I struggled with my music choice for this video, and am surprised there weren't more comments like yours. :) I license music from a service, and use a variety for our content. It helps set the tone and makes editing an otherwise boring bunch of hike footage a little easier. See you in the woods! -Amy

OTT MOUNTAIN thank you! I do that as well to get to sleep! I Checked out some of your videos last night while doing some trip prep, so fun! "SHRED SOME GNAR!" haaahaha! I wasn't such a water chicken...I may take a white water class this summer....I believe in facing your fears. :)

Haha, yeah LIsa and I try to stick with class 1 to class 3 rapids max. We're not in to the white knuckle stuff. Looking forward to following your next adventure!

OTT MOUNTAIN go check out GOYA (commented below) he does great vids too, and likes the crazy stuff hahaha! FUN! (to watch!)

Yep, good recommendation, we've been following GOYA for a while - those rapids he runs are gnarly, for sure

haha I see a place to photograph, you see a paddling challenge! Every photo I've seen of this place the falls were pounding like this.

Ohhhh thanks for reaching out and for the sub! I just subbed to yours as well, looks like we have LOTS in common :) Can't wait to show Chris & Dora! The wildlife stuff - well - I can either get a bunch of miles OR get wildlife footage, usually, sometimes there is just so much going on we stay put and capture it! Thanks again, looking forward to watching your stuff! ~Amy

Thanks! It was so amazing. And someone went up a couple days later, all of the ice was gone. We go so lucky!

Drone Girl thank you! :)

Lots of fun! Small (roughly 2 miles long) but lots of interesting coves and places to poke around for a full day. Tons of hiking nearby, too!

Thank you :)

Thank you, it really offers a huge reward for a short paddle! ~Amy :)

+Sylvia Vidal (brrddee) Best day ever! :) :)
