"The start of this hike was a hot, steep ascent that reminded us of hiking in Hawaii. Thankfully the ridge was more of a stroll that led to a sweet view from the Alander summit." — HikeLikeMike • Jul 20, 2018
"Six of us with the Rip Van Winkle hikers did a section hike of the South Taconic trail from Quarry Hill road side trail to the Alander Brook trail. Before we headed down the Alander Brook trail we headed up to the summit of Alander where we got the first decent views which was a nice finish to our day. We dropped down to the cabin to check on its condition and read the recent comments in the log book." — Nimblefoot • Jul 25, 2017
"Hiked with Tommy. In conjunction with Brace & Frissell. Hail, a fierce and persistent downpour, and a drowned cellphone in addition to a crappy map made for an interesting day." — kellieirene • Oct 18, 2014
"Fred Schroeder led Albany ADK midweek hike. He always carefully scheduled Alander for mountain laurel blooming time and as hoped, the laurel was spectacular. Later we drove to within .2 of AT and hiked up Mt. Everett." — barbaratraver • Jun 29, 1988
