Adirondack Hikes Hiking Trails

Haystack Mountain Trail Hike

Haystack Mountain Trail Hike

This is a very easy and simple hike. This should not be confused with the Mount Haystack that you need to do to complete the ADK46er challenge. This one is very easy compared to the ADK46er one. The trail is very straight forward which is one way going up then the same way going down. There is only one viewpoint and it is pretty good. The viewpoint is not that big but it is big enough to accommodate a few people. It is not small but not big either.

Start Of The Hike

You will never see me in summer time as I would be in the trails, hiking and exploring amidst the brilliant rays of the sun, the dark green leaves of the forest, and the thick Earthly aroma that the winds often bring. I would disappear from civilization and connect more with nature, away from unnecessary technologies and learn to go back to the most basic of all basic things.

I got out of my car, and looked at the big parking lot on the side of the road. It was a good day to hike so I prepared everything I could and went on my way.
