Hiking NY: Giant and Rocky Peak Ridge, Upper and Lower Wolfjaws

I'm a bit behind on my posting!! On my 2 different days off from working at the summer camp, I decided to challenge my body with some mountains instead of taking it easy!! On June 29 I met a couple hiking buddies in Keene, NY for a traverse of Giant and Rocky Peak Ridge at about 11 miles. It was very hot and humid that day, and the trail is very steep and rocky so we were very slow going. We ended up hiking for 12 hours and ended in the dark, as well as got rained on a few times. But we made it! This made high peaks 10 & 11 for me.

On my next day off--July 6--I decided to do my first solo hike in the high peaks!! I did Upper and Lower Wolfjaws from AMR for about 12 miles. The first 3 miles weren't bad, but after that the trail began the ascent and it was pretty steep with some rock scrambles closer to the summits. Coming down went much more quickly, and I finished in 8 hours. This made my high peaks 12 & 13!

Next post will be catching up pics of the boys at camp!!!!
