Trip to Adirondacks
Adirondacks is a mountain range in upstate New York, north from Albany. I've heard about it before, but never had chance to go there. Thus, when I found out that my roommate Sandy was going there for a day hike, I gladly joined
- Mt. Algonquin Ascent
Mt. Algonquin is our first destination. It's only three miles, but 3000 feet (=1000 m) elevation change!

Now we are almost at the top - entering the Arctic-Alpine zone, a rare phenomenon at this latitude and the only one in New York state
