Hennessy Mountain Ny
This hike was a total fluke, visited lake placid and planned on hiking McKenzie Mountain but saw the opening before we got to it so decided to check it out. There was a small trail into the are then it just stopped. Walked around for a while just looking for higher elevation, i have experience with land navigation so it wasn’t too bad, but didn’t have a map or compass. Ended up using Strava to navigate since it shows contour lines, and used it to help find a way back down since most of the area around it was very steep. Overall very cool and good for those who want a challenge. If you plan on going, have backup plans since there are no marked trails. It’s quite unknown as well as the hotel workers didn’t even know about it.
