Hike of Whiteface Mountain and Nearby Esther Mountain
by Jean Ryan
Nancy LaBaff from Canton, Colleen Kaulfuss from Cadyville, Diana Lavery from Plattsburgh, Lori Clark from Peru and I hiked two Adirondack high peaks, Whiteface and Esther Mountains, from the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, in Wilmington, on Saturday, March 21. Though most evidence of winter is gone in the Peru area, the trail at the higher elevations was either icy in sections or covered with a hardened crusty snow. These trail conditions required us to wear crampons throughout most of the hike. This hike was 12.4 miles round trip and took about seven hours. See photos

Those photos are magnificent!
I love Whiteface and, therefore, Esther, also.
Thank you so much for sharing such beauty.
