James and I took our second hiking trip together yesterday October 17, 2008. We hiked to the summit of Hadley Mountain in the southern part of the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. The trail is approximately 4 miles round trip and ascends approximately 1,500 feet from the trailhead. It was much tougher than our earlier hike to Second Pond due almost entirely to the steep elevation. Also, much of the trail was bare rock which was covered in wet leaves making footing somewhat treacherous.
