Bundle up and join us for a bone-chilling and exhilarating hike as we venture through the Macintyre Range for a winter day of subzero summitting- Algonquin, Iroquois, and Wright

Despite the forecast of -30° windchill at the summits and a frosty start at 0°, our spirits soared under the crystalline blue skies, proving that the best winter hiking conditions often come on the coldest, sunniest days.

You'll hear how diverse experiences—from first-timers to seasoned Adirondack 46’ers—meld on the trail, and how we navigate the biting cold with the warmth of good company and the promise of Blue Line Bakery cookies.

A memorable magical day in the snowcapped High Peaks.
