Slide Mountain, NY
Date: 08/16/2006
Persons in Group: Brian and Greg
Weather Conditions: 75-80 degrees, sunny..
Route: 2.7 miles to the top from the Slide Mountain Trailhead.
Notes: #115 on the NE111 for 46er1248! It started in 1972 on Algonquin, and ended here, possibly the easiest 4k peak on the list.
Very nice trail, in great shape. Not a lot for views on the way...it was a 3 hour trip total, and then we were back on the road. (Speaking of road, 10 hours total driving to get this one out of the way!)
This was #85 on the NE111 for myself.
GPS track for the day...not steep at all the way we approached it, however take a look around...
8:30 AM EST - At the Slide Mountain Trailhead.
