"Hiked with Dean and Katie today. The road into the trailhead wasn't plowed today, so our hike was a couple miles longer. Even though it was still technically a winter hike, the beautiful day said spring. Views from the bald summit were awesome. On the descent we stopped to study the head stones in the Lang Cementary. Very interesting. A short easy hike with big rewards!" — garyogden • Mar 12, 2024
"Dean and Katie hiked with me today on a beautiful blue sky day with temps around 30. Belfry is the shortest fire tower hike in NYS at only .8 miles r/t. A quick up and down and then off to Cheney Mtn just a short drive away." — garyogden • Feb 25, 2024
"Katie, Dean and I made the short drive over to Cheney while in the area after hiking Belfry. A short hike took us to the summit that led to many trails that each looked off in a different direction. Lake Champlain Valley and the ADK High Peaks. Beautiful day hiking with family." — garyogden • Feb 25, 2024
"My daughter wanted to celebrate her 8th bday by hiking up to the fire tower. It was a beautiful day to visit with clear views. The leaves are just past peak but still beautiful. We explored the woods right around and found some neat things around there. (If you are into geocaching you do not want to miss the treat up here.)" — jan2ny • Oct 18, 2022
"A quick saunter up to Belfry, since I was in the area and looking for some mountain views and time to kill on a beautiful fall day. was here once in 2018 when I was chasing the fire tower challenge patch, An easy climb for any age with some amazing views into the high peaks of the Adirondack Park N.Y." — ramjet1963 • Oct 11, 2022
