Great Range from Armstrong Great Range from Armstrong

The second image gallery in the Great Range Trail series covers Lower Wolfjaw Mtn, Upper Wolfjaw Mtn, and Armstrong Mtn, in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Park. Taken on 10-4-10, the higher elevations are between mid 30’s and upper 50’s Fahrenheit, with no snow or ice yet.

The hiking begins to get rugged, starting on Lower Wolfjaw.

  3. Along the Great Range Trail, various crevices and protrusion provide the only means of ascent over exposed rockface. Attempting this particular crevice, I slid about 8 feet, tearing up my rain pants nicely, as well as denting my external frame.
