Backpacking in the Adirondack Mountains

Henry Balch and Chris James returned from college to accompany the older scouts on our annual Mini Venture.  This year's trip took us to the West Canada Wilderness Area in the Adirondack Mountains for a backpacking trip.  The Troop ended up hiking 27.7 miles through breathtaking scenery and some ferocious downpours over our 3 days and four nights on the trail.

The lean-tos along the trail were in relatively good shape and placed in convenient and scenic spots.  After hiking for over an hour in the rain we were extremely happy to stumble across one where we could wait out the worst of the day 2 storm.

We carried everything we needed into the wilderness and in true Leave No Trace fashion packed all our garbage out.
