"Another huge day after huge day with nearly 5k vert. Can't keep up with nutrition, rest and hydration out here in the backcountry. The climb up to Algonquin was near 2,500' up a rocky raging creek bed with no switchbacks - absolute nut buster but the views from above treeline made it worth it. Ate a celebratory Snickers then downclimbed nearly 700' to the base of Wright and climbed that. Downclimbed again off of Wright and then had to climb Algonquin once again to get back over to Boundary and Iroquois. Legend has it that Boundary Peak was the 'boundary' between the Algonquin and Iroquois tribes. As I was coming down, accidentally ran into the Colden Lake Caretaker's property but turned around as to not disturb their privacy there. Took off most of my sweaty, smelly clothes and showered in a waterfall to get some life back in me. One more night in the ADK, then back to civilization! Managed 10/46 peaks in 3 days. I'll be back for the other 36 NY! " — wiweasel • Aug 27, 2024

"logged in at trailhead at the Loj at 6:20am. Summited Algonquin at 10:15am. Clear day, views of Colden and Marcy. Stopped for lunch. Descended Algonquin south bound, making sure to head right, to summit Boundary Peak at 11:15am. From Boundary traveled through a tree-lined col to Iroquois Peak. Summited Iroquois around 12 noon. Turned back from there, to head back the Alqonquin trail to Wright Peak. I did not attempt to summit Wright. From the trail split at Wright, descended back down to the Van Hoevenberg trail. Reached the Loj at 6pm" — catearonson • Sep 23, 2023

"Our first ADK peaks! It was a foggy day. Temperature was perfect although a little windy on the summits. Some of the slides were difficult and we didn’t know what to expect. It had rained the days previous so there was a constant stream running down the slide going up Wright and Algonquin " — Anurseandapainter • Jun 21, 2023

"After summiting Algonquin we headed for Boundary and then Iraquois. Heading down the back side of Algonquin was pretty sketchy on snow shoes. Witnessed several people taking headers. Snow in the valleys between was deep and powdery. Views from Iraquios were exceptional and no wind...a rarity! Left the summit at 11:20 and returned to the car at 2:36. Great like on a incredible winter day!" — garyogden • Feb 11, 2023

"Moderate to difficult climb in great weather. Algonquin easily the most difficult with multiple steep slides and a few false summits. Boundary and Iroquois are moderate via the herd trail, the toughest part being re-summiting Algo. Wright peak was moderate as it is very steep at the top. Great 360 views from all peaks. Finished in 4 hours 52 minutes. Recommend taking your time as it can be exhausting." — markfilliter • May 29, 2022

"Not too technical of a hike, but very long. The hardest part was the way down the Algonquin Trail, as it is very steep and rocky. These summits are some of the best in the region, and it's really cool to hit 4 in a row. Just be prepared for the distance, this hike took us nearly all day." — ThermarestCompressiblePillow • Aug 7, 2021

"One of the busiest days in the High Peaks on record - hundreds of people on the trails from the Loj. Parking at Adirondack Loj full; parking >2 miles from trailhead. Hiked straight up to Algonquin, over Boundary Peak to Iroquois, then back over Algonquin and down+up to Wright. Beautiful day for a hike; peak foliage and high winds on the summits.

"Came in through the calamity trail and up the backside of Algonquin to Iroquois. We then bushwhacked down around Shepherds Tooth to trail below Marshall. From Marshall we went back down and out the Flowered Lands. Beautiful day in the 60’s. Hiked this with a very sore ankle. " — bbergman • Sep 12, 2020

"Loop hike out of the ADK Loj through Avalanche pass and back via the Algonquin trail tagging the last three peaks of Tom’s 46r quest. On top of Iroquois the low cloud bank cleared giving us great views which we enjoyed for the rest of the day. There was some wInd, quite gusty at times, giving Tom and Kathryn a good taste of mountain weather and a new perspective of extreme conditions. At least half the folks attempting Wright failed, got turned back at tree line, do to the strong gusts. Donated an Ex-Officio sun shirt to Iroquois when the main compartment of my pack got unzipped and it blew out in the ~40 mph gusts. " — Nimblefoot • Sep 7, 2020

"Left camp at about 9:20 am. Summited Iroquois at 12:19 pm. Rained in the morning. Made the hike kind of suck. Summited Algonquin at 1:15 pm. Windy. Had lunch on top of the Mountain. Can see many other mountains, very cool. Summited Wright at 3:15 pm. Also windy. Nobody was there except My dad, brother, and two friends. We tried to fly a kite but didn't have enough time. Took the loop instead of going the steep way down." — mmeyerpflug • Jul 23, 2020
