Good evening,
The best friend and I have been wanting to do an over night hike in what we like to call the mother of em all, Adirondacks. But he's in the Army and was stationed in the mountains of Africa for 10 months and now he's back. We are both pretty fit and have hiked a lot but never overnight, he has specially being in the military. We both live in Manhattan and we have done tons of day hikes 1-2 hours away from home and a few major hikes in Arizona including in and out of the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce. Problem with Arizona is that you need permits and you need to apply and entered in to a lottery system, etc.
We would like to drive up maybe 4 am this Sunday June 11th and return Monday night if not Tuesday morning. Do a day hike, set up camp and loop back to the car. Is it possible to park at the start? Can we set up camp just anywhere? We have most of the equipment since he has done this many times in the snow, desert, and other places, if not there is also a huge REI store on my street.
Now I mostly follow markers but I can work a good map. So any ideas? I know we have less than a week without doing tons of research but work has been insane lately.
So is this possible? any recommendations? Help us finally get to the Adirondacks!
