"Hiked this one with my buddy Matt. Out of all the Firetowers I’ve done, the cab access was via a small ladder through a small hatch. The windows were screwed shut, but the views incredible." — MarkEarle67 • Sep 30, 2018
"Did this trail in mid March as we are having a mild winter. Temperature was 35 to start but was in the 50s when we were done. There was some ice and snow on parts of the trail but easy to get around. There were a lot of people out on the trail enjoying the weather. An excellent view and a moderate hike. Highly recommend" — kathyrowney • Mar 26, 2016
"Hiked Hadley on way home from Warrensburg. The trail was basically an icey sidewalk from the TH to the summit. Unfortunately the access door on the fire tower cab was locked so I took the views from just below it. My final tower for the winter patch, #23/23." — Nimblefoot • Feb 2, 2016
"Hiked with Chad, Hannah & Clay. The kids first firetower. Nice moderate hike, always cool to see a mountain in a different season- I liked all the exposed rock, almost looked like natural highways on the mountain. The ridge line leading to the final summit push was covered in rime ice & made for awesome photos. Weather was nice and the views were awesome. Disappointed that the tower was restored since my last visit, but the cab was locked. Didn't see many other hikers which was a surprise. " — kellieirene • Nov 29, 2015
"Beautiful sunny winter afternoon for a snowshoe hike to the fire tower summit. Met a backcountry skier on the way up as he was riding down (a little jealous). I think it's safe to say that AngiBabi is not a fan of snowshoeing in the Adirondacks. Phone died right before I summited the Fire tower :(. " — MooseHiker • Dec 19, 2013
"This is a nice easy hike of about 3.2 miles RT and a gain of ~1500'. The conditions were perfect - a light snow falling, no wind, a little sun and lots of ice on the trail. We had a great time on the trail and at the summit. The tower is climbable up to the base of the observation platform, but the platform itself is closed off." — deb-and-rob • Dec 8, 2013
"As co-counselor of Skye Farm Jr-Hi Youth Camp, I had to stop partway up Hadley with two girls who couldn't (or didn''t want to) climb any farther. The other counselor took the majority of the kids, including all of the boys, to the top. " — barbaratraver • Aug 11, 1992
