"Couldn't have asked for a better day to walk across the Dix Range. Though on the shorter side for a 46er the views from the summit were amazing. Definitely near the top of my favorite Adirondacks summits." - Right-On, Jul 29, 2017
"Trip report from the whole Dix Range traverse, included on all five logs:
On Tuesday the 6th, Mom and I drove up to the Elk Lake parking lot and hiked in to the Slide Brook Lean-to. We got in sometime early evening and had the place to ourselves! It was raining, had been raining, and continued to rain into the early hours of Wednesday morning. But I'm willing to take the rain on set-up day versus hiking day. It was a little chilly at night and I had to put all my layers on to stay warm. I forgot that summer nights in the ADK can still fall into the 40's!
Wednesday morning we were up at 6am a" - tscha1, Jun 7, 2017
"Solo. Macomb > S. Dix (Carson) > Grace > S. Dix (Carson) > Hough > Dix. Note pertaining to the entire day's hike - the trail register for the Dix Wilderness at Elk Lake Road was completely out of pages.. A little clarifying I did on my S. Dix summit log as well - When I read other people's trip reports about doing the entire Dix Range, all of them said "just past the summit of S. Dix, take a left to go to Hough, or a right to go to Grace (E. Dix), there is no cairn." I interpreted these reports to mean that there was a "T" or a "Y" junction a few steps from the summit of S. Dix. HOWEVER, just " - kellieirene, Sep 12, 2016
"Deb and I wanted to do part of the Dix Range, I had done Dix once before so we set out to do Macomb, Carson and Gracie. Great weather, the slide up Macomb was awesome to do and very unique. The views to the East from Gracie were great. We wanted to do Hough on the way back but we missed the herd path by the summit of Carson and ended up on the Lilian Brook herd path which took us out of the way. We will catch that one in the fall when I take Deb up Dix for her 1st time." - hbotc, Jun 4, 2016
"Two down, Macomb and S. Dix, two more to go on our loop hike of the trail-less Dixes. An easy walk over to the summit & canister via herdpath, running into two friends from the 3500 Club near the top. Time for a leisurely lunch & nap before heading back to S. Dix." - Nimblefoot, Sep 4, 1993
