"A perfect day to hike up Rocky Peak via the New Russia trail head! It was cool, a little breezy but clear skies up over the 3 smaller summits and onto the ridge to the summit of Rocky. Great day if hiking!" — hbotc • Sep 22, 2018
"Solo. Hiked on my way to Bald Peak. There was some strangeness on this hike, beginning before I even properly parked at the trailhead.
I showed up around 8am, and as I put my directional on to turn into the trailhead parking lot, saw a tall man standing directly in my way. Seeing where I was going, he took a few steps back to allow me through, and I proceeded to the far end of the lot- past a grey SUV that was parked sideways right in the middle of the damn lot- the only other car there. As I parked & started to gather my gear, a woman cut the SUV’s engine, got out, locked it, & proceeded to stand at the entrance of the trailhead. Now this couple was standing there, not talking, arms crossed, looking surly as all get-out, staring at the road. I threw my wallet into my pack as a precaution before I started my hike. I never saw the couple again. Were they waiting for their hiking companions to join them at the trailhead, then decided not to hike at all because they didn’t show up? (Who does that?) If they were, why not park like a proper human being & start gathering your gear? I dunno, it was unsettling.
Anyway, after pushing through some foliage, this trail was weird AF. Th..." — kellieirene • Sep 7, 2018
"The first of 5 peaks Today. A short hike to the summit of Blueberry Cobbles before heading out to RPR. Probably the hottest day in the peaks this year. Nice little summit with some good views of the surrounding peaks." — UK-Ranger • Sep 23, 2017
"First stop on the way to Rocky Peak Ridge, on a VERY HOT day. This is one peak that doesn't have to be climbed to get RPR, but of course we did anyway, would be rude not to :-)" — RangersApprentice • Sep 23, 2017
"The last of the 29er challenge for my wife. Hazy, warm and humid but views all the way! A great way to end the challenge. Constant terrain change, great elevation gain over 3 small mountains." — hbotc • Jul 23, 2016
"We led an Albany ADK trip to Bald Peak, going over Blueberry Cobbles.
One of the highlights was seeing a small black bear run through the parking area as we pulled our cars in." — barbaratraver • Sep 16, 1995
