Woohoo thank you for showcasing the new east trail up vanho! We all worked really hard on the trail, and it’s amazing to hear positive feedback! You hit the nail on the head with your comments the trail is for everyone and sustainable to handle high volumes. This summer well I was working I had a 88 year old women hike up and tell me that she wouldn’t be able to hike mountains anymore without this trail, it made my heart so happy!
Funny story, before my wife and I started on our 46 journey (currently at 26/46), we assumed Mt.Jo was a high peak. We hiked it, arrived at the top and told some kids on the summit that Mt.Jo was our 2nd high peak. They laughed at us for a solid 5 minutes. We quickly realized Mt.Jo was not one of the 46 😂😂 Awesome video man. Hope to see you in the trails!
Awesome video. Korra is such a pretty pup and she looked like she was really enjoying that hike. The views, even though cloudy, still were pretty kewl. You can kind of sort of a little bit.....see the views.
Off to Mt Ho tomorrow via south meadows to break in a new pair of snowshoes. Going to save the new trail up for another time. IMO, one of the best views in the ADK........on a clear..ish day which is pretty rare!
Mt. Jo was the beginning of my understanding that all hikers in the ADK are not truthful..the short hike is straight up a stream bed..not easy for a first experience.. The ladders are an addition since I was up there. Nice to see the new trail to Mt.V. From the ski center. Looks like it was fun.
Yea, I'm honestly amazed when folks say that something like Mt Marcy was their first ADK experience ... that's like a 17-mile day and many thousands of feet of elevation gain! Something like Mt. Van Ho or Mt. Jo are excellent first ADK mountains because they give you that rugged terrain and epic views without being 5+ miles from civilization ;)
Love it! Had my first ADK experience about 3 months ago, amazing area. We still have no snow over here in Indiana. Wait, you guys got SWITCHBACKS? lol. Micro-spikes FTW! Those "short" hikes there in the ADK are no joke, from my limited experience.
Hey great videos! I've hiked a few times but I'd like to get into it alot more. I'm an avid hunter so I spend alot of time in the woods but would like to get out a little more and some hammock camping in due time!! I'm from saratoga county I've seen a lot of your local hikes. Are you in saratoga county?. Anyways great video can't wait to see more
Thank you very much! Yup, I'm currently based in Saratoga County, and I'm glad that you saw some of our Local Hiking Spotlight videos - we're lucky to have so many great nature preserves in our own backyards!!
@@JayMorrisonOutdoors small world im in bspa , kind of got into hiking last yr , if Norfolk southern doesnt work out and i move back to the region im thinking of getting back into it
I did it a week ago. No roots, no rocks... It's nice taking hike without looking down every five seconds. The view at the top is probably one of the best in the Adirondacks.
I apologize if this is a a question that has been asked or if you have a video on it already. I'm a bigger guy looking for hiking apparel and would love some opinions and options. Thanks and again great videos!!
Hey Shaun - typically I wear XXL in most brands of clothing, so that's my go-to size when checking out apparel for hiking. For my bottoms, I've had a lot of success with Columbia convertable hiking pants, LLBean lined/insulated pants, and Adidas or Champion shorts. I wear a size 12-13 (wide) footwear, so for socks, I'm a big fan of Darn Tough and Injinji toe socks (XL size for both), as well as Altra Lone Peaks for trail runners (3-season) and Columbia Bugaboot 3 or Titanium for winter boots. For my upper body, again, I go with XXL shirts, hoodies, and coats. Over the last year, I've been rocking the moisture wicking shirts that I sell in my merch shop (link in the description above), and they've held up great, so I recommend them. Hopefully that's helpful. Feel free to reach out on Facebook or Instagram for a deeper dive conversation if you want. Thanks for watching!

I’ll be checking it out this winter season I can’t wait
It's Winter everyday in lake placid trust me
LOL fair point! Coming from just south of the ADK border, we've had an excessively mild winter ;)

LOL that's really funny! Thanks for watching.

Yea, Korra is doing so well and I think she's having a good time exploring the trails with us!
Great video man, maybe a little too much snow for my taste but that also gives a special beauty to this video. Stay safe everyone.
I love the snow ... hehe ... different strokes for different folks ;)
Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Enjoy ... it should be a lot of fun with the latest snowstorm
“I thought the long trail was in Vermont” 😂😂😂
LOL these guy ;)

I'm glad you got to come out into our neck of the woods ... the ADKs are wicked awesome - especially in the Fall! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful area! awesome hike too
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
@@JayMorrisonOutdoors No problem :D
Cool video bro. I’ve got to get to the Adirondacks
Thanks! And yes, you should definitely try to get up to the ADKs ... you let me know if/when you come up and we'll show you around!

Looks like a great trip. I think we needed some slow-mo snow falling footage.
LOL yea -- I think you're right ... next time ;)
For once in my life I guessed something right on…
LOL yay! Correct guesses win 1,000 internet points ;)
Thanks for watching!
Is this like “who’s line is it anyway?” Where the points don’t matter
Awesome video! This is so cool beautiful ❤❤😊
Thanks!

The return on investment (views to energy/effort) is so amazing, and you're right in the heart of the Central High Peaks, so it's simply gorgeous!
Love the new intro and outro. So it's onto the LP9'r for you and the gang. I love how you introduced it so subtly.
Thanks!
