Hi guys,
We're planning some dates for next year and looking for some advice.
We hope to do the Adirondack Mountain Reserve "Great Falls Loop" in 2017.
Plan is to drive in on a Saturday, camp overnight, and do the hike first thing Sunday.
First consideration is going at a time when the falls are still majestic. However, we would like to wait until the ice is off all of the trails (hiking with kids). Looks like our highest elevation is Indian Head.
I assume waiting until the ice is off the trails will put us into black fly season. I've read that they are at a peak from Mother's day to Father's day? We are familiar with them and could deal with them but would like to avoid the worst if possible.
Father's Day is June 18th. We're busy Jun 25th. Jul 2nd is Independence Day w/e which we would prefer to avoid.
So we're thinking Jun 18th:
So, does that date make sense given our considerations?
Thanks,
AP

So we're thinking Jun 18th:
- Falls still majestic (correct?)
- Worst of black fly behind us?
- School still in session so summer crowds not yet a factor
So, does that date make sense given our considerations?
