"1hr and 15 min round trip hike plus time at top. 3 year old and 5year old did great on their 7th mountain of the summer. Wild blueberries at the top were just getting ripe. Able to eat a few. Very steep! But no whining from the kids!" — jan2ny • Jul 21, 2020
"Took my daughter Alexis out for our first hike of the year. No bugs. Signed the register at 9:30am and only one other vehicle there before us. Full lot by the time we got back down at 11:30am. " — cmarion1979 • Jun 12, 2020
"Be cautious and aware of your surroundings. My friend was bitten by a timber rattlesnake at some point during our hike! She discovered the bite after returning home; she spent the night in the hospital and has luckily suffered no lasting effects. " — DeliriumTrigger • May 28, 2020
"Kim and I were up in Lake Placid for the weekend and wanted to at least get out and stretch our legs on Saturday, so we decided to hike Baker. It was a nice and easy hike out and back, but there was a ton of ice on the route. Definitely need some sort of traction to get to the top safely. We watched the Saranac Lake St. Patrick's Day parade in the village after we finished the hike. " — LGH-Tom • Mar 14, 2020
"Hiked with Tom. Sketchy ice, which made the descent a little slower than the ascent. Weather was nice though and we enjoyed some time in the Saranac Lake village after completing the hike. " — Kim-Stilson • Mar 14, 2020
