Ascent of Jackson Hill on 2012-01-22| Date: | Sunday, January 22, 2012 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Jackson Hill | | Location: | USA-New York | | Elevation: | 1680 ft / 512 m |
Ascent Trip ReportBlack River Environmental Improvement Association (BREIA) Cross Country Trails provide access to Jackson Hill summit across about 175 yards of bushwacking from trails in thick woods. BREIA is a ski for free on one of the largest groomed cross-country systems in the East with over 50 Km of trails in a reliable snow belt between the Adirondacks and the Tug Hill Plateau. I snowshoed alongside trails as requested, with no walking allowed or snowmobiles either. Another consideration is that all Jackson Hill trails are closed to the public Monday-Friday 9am-1pm (except holidays) due to private programming. Tho I snowshoed to summit, I believe I could have easily wove my way thru woods along my short skis by somewhat following herd paths thru thickest of evergreens and blowdown.
