"Kim and I were staying at Fish Creek campground for the holiday weekend and decided to hike Ampersand to watch the sunset and maybe catch the Saranac Lake fireworks from the summit. We started hiking around 7:00pm and after a nice slow climb arrived at the summit around 8:15pm. The sunset was incredible with tons of color. We were pretty far away from the fireworks, but we were still able to see them along with tons of other amateur shows. We headed down around 10:15pm and arrived back at the car just after 11:00pm.

"4th of July trip east (steep) route to Hurricane. This is a pleasant moderate hike with a gorgeous 360 degree summit and firetower. Hiked with Paul, Adam, and Allison. No one else was on the trail, did see a few other groups at the top. Overall a pleasant half day hike of around 5 miles round trip. Went swimming at Cascade lakes afterwards. Sadly there was a 23 year old man found dead very nearby at Cascade Falls later that night. Life is short, get out there and live it to the fullest, because you never know what’s going to happen.

"I wanted to enjoy the views on St Regis without freezing to death this time. So I went up there first. Then drove up to do Azure. Then drove down and did Ampersand to finish my Saranac 6. Incredible mountain to finish on. " — newenglandwarrior • Jun 23, 2019
