Adirondack Wilderness: Late December

All this holiday vacation week, winter hiking in the Adirondacks wilderness is what's hot. The predicted heavy snow did not make its way to the Gore Mountain region, but below-freezing temperatures will make hiking on wilderness trails a cinch, as long as you have some Yaktrax slipped onto your boots.

The ferns and mosses are still lush, the winter birds are having a wonderful time in the unseasonable warmth, and the firs, spruces, and pines are brightening the forest. Do you know your Adirondack evergreens? Come and learn about them and the winter habits of the northeastern coyote, deer, moose, fishers, beavers, and mink. And let's follow their tracks! The Siamese Ponds Wilderness awaits.
