Ascent Trip ReportOn December 21, 2013 we met our friends to hike Baker Mountain in Saranac to begin the Saranac Winter 6r series. We had a great hike and decided we wanted to finish them all this season. Today we finished our last peak and the biggest one in the bunch - McKenzie. We started off at 1960 ' on the Jack-Rabbit trail near the Whiteface Lodge, headed towards McKenzie hiking 3.9 miles over several false peaks on the way to the 3861' summit. Just below the summit we ran into another hiker who offered up a loop trail option over the backside known as the SOA which we thought would be fun ... it was, but it was a challenge as the snow was very deep. Beautiful conditions. |
