Hiking a Hurricane

Given it was a weekend we went for a hike up Hurricane Mountain. Located in the Adirondacks, specifically Keene Valley, it rises to 3,694 feet and has a bald peak with a now defunct fire tower. I had put a couple of other pictures up of this hike but this are from Heather's camera. The ascent was very wet and the trail was mainly a waterfall of spring run-off. Sal had to learn how to cross fast water like this:
The view from the top was stunning. It was a cloudy gray day but still...
The marker. I love that it is called Hurricane Mountain. Just an intimidating name.
Sal enjoying the view.
Beavers were at work at the bottom of the trail.
