This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 14 and 8 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Hiking NY: Bald Mountain

Bald Mountain is a short but fun hiking destination in Old Forge, NY. It's a good taste of what the Adirondacks have to offer, but with a speedy reward at the summit. Not only is there amazing views, but there is a firetower on top that you can climb to gain additional elevation and experience a true 360 view.

At 2 miles roundtrip with just under 500' elevation gain, it's a great trail for even beginning to moderate hikers. There are slides, scrambles, and ridges to keep you literally on your toes to the summit.

I have the added benefit of being right down the road working at my summer job! So on a beautiful evening off I headed down to the trailhead and added this one to my list.





Several viewpoints on the way up to the summit!






The ridge I followed up to the summit and firetower.



Coincidentally another hiking buddy of mine was doing the same trail with his son, and he snapped this pic of me from the ground.

If you are in the area and have about an hour to kill, I highly recommend this one!!
