Phelps Mt. Sunrise
It was a Thursday night at Clarkson University and I had no Friday classes. I wanted to go on an adventure, so I checked the weather. The forecast called for clear blue skies, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to catch a sunrise from the top of one of the Adirondack Peaks. It was almost midnight in mid-October and instead of going bed, my friend Garth and I decided to gather our belongings, get in the car, and drive to the Adirondack Park. After a 2 hour drive, we parked at the Adirondack Loj and began our trek up Phelps Mountain with the light of our headlamps. It was a cool night, nearly 20 degrees, but everything was still and silent. All that could be heard were our footsteps as we made are ascent to the summit. Our timing was perfect as we reached the Phelps summit at 6am. We captured it all on camera, so check out the video above if you’d like to take a glance at what we saw. The sight was breathtaking… Enjoy! -EW

Hiking Catamount Mountain in the ADKs
Catamount Mountain – A trail for the rock-scrambling enthusiast ( adk.org )
It was an amazing day in November 2009. The sun was shining, there was a light warm breeze, and temps were in the 50s. My dad and I decided to make our way up Catamount Mountain (Elevation: 3169 feet) in the Adirondacks for the afternoon. Catamount has beautiful views from a couple lookout points and an amazing summit view, which includes Whiteface Mt. in the distance, off to the south.
“If you have adventure in your heart, this is a great peak on a clear, sunny day.”

Hiking New York’s Highest Peak!
Mid-October 2008:
It was a brisk day in the Adirondack Mountains. Temps were in the 20s as we began our hike from the Adirondack Loj at 8am. Although it was cool out, the sun was shining and many of us were excited for a great day of hiking ahead us. This video includes live footage and photos from my 15 mile round trip adventure up Mt. Marcy with my friends and fellow Clarkson University students. Mt. Marcy is New York State’s highest peak with an elevation of 5,343 feet. It is located just outside of the Olympic Village of Lake Placid, NY. -EW
